Alumni  Dedication 

There  comes  a  time  in  a  mans  life  when  he 
must  decide  in  what  manner  he  is  going  to  leave 
his  mark  in  this  world,  large  or  small,  spectacular 
or  drab,  successful  or  mediocre,  as  his  talents 
and  circumstance  may  decree.  From  the  thou- 
sands of  professions  and  occupations  which  pre- 
sent themselves  some  choose  to  become  the 
servants  of  mankind,  the  healers  of  the  sick,  the 
comforters  of  the  mind  and  body.  They  choose 
the  medical  profession. 

Let  us  follow  the  growth  of  the  infant  brought 
into  this  world  by  our  "horse  and  buggy"  doctor. 
What  does  life  hold  for  him?  Childhood  comes 
and  goes  but  deep  in  the  far  recesses  of  his  mind 
an  ambition  has  taken  root. 

"And  what  are  you  going  to  be  when  you  grow 
up,  little  boy?" 

"I  want  to  be  a  cowboy,  a  fireman,  a  doctor." 

As  happens  with  most  children  the  cowboy  and 
fireman  existence  is  dropped,  but  the  desire  to  be 
a  doctor  becomes  more  deeply  ingrained.  This 
is  now  a  goal  to  be  sought  and  obtained. 

What  about  the  others  who  have  made  the 
same  decision  and  have  gone  before  us  from  our 
school?  It  is  impossible  to  know  of  all  of  them, 
but  here  is  the  story  of  their  organization. 

An  Alumni  Association  of  the  University  of 
Maryland.   School  of  Medicine,  was  founded  at 


some  date  now  unknown.  However  in  1936  it 
was  reorganized  as  a  non-profit  organization  and 
has  been  an  integrated  and  smoothly  functioning 
body  since  then.  At  the  present  it  is  composed 
of  about  4000  living  members,  about  half  of 
whom  are  active  in  the  affairs  of  the  organiza- 
tion. The  purpose  of  the  group  is  perpetuating 
those  associations  which  began  during  profes- 
sional student  life  and  keeping  alive  the  interest 
in  its  Alma  Mater  and  advancing  in  every  legiti- 
mate way  her  welfare. 

Also  this  group  keeps  an  up-to-date  record  of 
all  the  graduates  of  the  School  of  Medicine.  They 
publish  and  help  finance  the  Bulletin  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland,  a  scientific  periodical.    It  is

The  Administration 

THE  ADMINISTRATION,  that  li.xU  <.f  officials,  clerks,  secretaries,  and 
countless  others,  whose  miiltitiidinous  tasks  are  concerned  with  the  efficient 
functionin<;  of  anv  institution  of  learning,  is  often  overlooked  by  the  student 
in  his  busy  schedule  of  courses  and  clinics.  Headed  by  the  Dean's  office, 
this  large  organization  of  workers  is  constant^  concerned  with  the  welfare 
of  the  school,  students.  facult\  and  alunnii  as  well  as  the  constant  planning 
required  for  the  nuriad  of  courses  which  go  into  the  making  ujj  a  compre- 
hensive medical  curriculum,  the  procurement  of  instructors,  the  maintenance 
of  the  buildings  and  grounds,  the  accurate  accounting  of  funds  and  the 
planning  of  extension  teaching  for  alumni. 

The  student  perha|)s  is  most  familiar  with  the  Deans  office,  for  it  is 
through  this  ofiice  that  the  directixcs  and  general  information  concerning  his 
life  at  medical  school  are  issued.  Tlic  e(licicnc\  and  smooth  functioning  of 
this  office  cannot  be  mentioned  without  some  reference  to  Miss  (!onway, 
whose  kind  cooperation  and  willingness  to  help  in  any  wa\  will  be  indelibly 
impressed  upon  our  memory. 

The  Office  of  Hospital  Administration,  headed  b\  Mr.  (leorge  H.  Buck, 
together  with  the  countless  time-consuming  tasks  of  running  a  hospital,  has 
the  added  responsibility  of  planning  and  providing  for  the  education  and 
training  of  students.

SCHOOL   OF   MEDICINE 


February  24.    195J 


TO  THE  MEMBERS  OF  THE  CLASS  OF   195J 

To  the  members  of  this  class  I  send  my  warmest  wishes  for 
a  satisfying  career  in  the  field  of  medicine.      Up  lo  this  time  you 
have  been  guided  by  experienced  hands  of  others,  soon  your  future 
will  rest  in  your  own  hands. 

The  degree  of  satisfaction  derived  froin  your  work  as  a 
physician  will  depend  on  the  extent  of  responsibility  you  are  willing 
to  assume  in  promotion  of  the  welfare  of  your  patients.     It  is 
my  hope  that  when  you  turn  back  the  pages  of  memory  in  after  years 
you  will  be  wholly  satisfied  with  your   sense  of  responsibility  in 
this  respect. 

Good  luck!

Freshman  Class 


The  class  of  1956  is  103  stroiif;  iiuludiiif;  four  niciiil)ers  of 
the  gentle  sex.  Although  predominaiitK  (■oni|)osc(l  of  Marv- 
landers,  this  number  includes  students  from  all  |iarls  of  the 
I  nited  States  and  her  possessions:  from  Maine  to  Puerto  Kico 
and  from  the  Atlantic  to  the  sunny  isle  of  Hawaii  in  the  Pacific. 

The  list  of  alma  maters  of  the  class  members  reads  like  a 
"Who's  Who  of  American  (Colleges."  Among  those  r<'|)rocMlc(l 
are  Yale.  Princeton.  William  and  Mar\ .  Mrown.  and  Washington 
and  Lee.  not  to  forget  the  fighting  irislmuiri  from  Notre  Dame 
or  the  stale  college  contingents  from   I  lah  and  West  Virginia. 

(iolleges  in  all  parts  of  Mar\lanil  are  represented  including,  of 
course,  the  University  of  Marx  land.  Johns  llupkin--.  l.cp\ola. 
Western    Maryland.    Morgan    and    Washington    (inllcgc. 

On  (he  whole  the  I47th  class  of  the  meilical  sclniol  is  \oimger 
than  its  r<'c<'nt  predecessors  and  the  percentage  of  \eterans  and 
married  men  is  consideraliU  lower.  However,  we  do  boast  of 
representatives  from  all  branihes  of  the  ser\  ice.  As  for  the  marital 
situation,  one  of  our  nuMubcrs  walked  ihc  aisle  during  the  recent 
school  vear  and  sexeral  more  ha\c  inadc  plans  for  being  married 
this  Spring. 

The  extra  curricular  aclix  ities  of  the  class  lia\e  co\ered  a  wide 
field  of  endeavor.  There  are  few  hospitals  in  the  cit\  that  do 
not  boast  of  one  of  the  class  mendjers  serving  in  one  capacity  or 
another. 

The  class  as  a  whole  was  an  acti\('  one.  alwa\s  being  well  re|)re- 
sented  at  the  school  dances  and  and)ilious  enough  to  present  a 
Christmas  dance  in  conjunction  with  the  School  of  Nursing,  and 
a  Spring  outing  also.     We  hope  to  make  these  annual  affairs. 

The  class  of  1956.  although  a  higliK  active  one.  is  also  a  highly 
studious  one  and  we  are  proud  of  our  accoiTiplishments  this  vear. 
To  Doctors  Figge.  Krahl.  Schmidt.  Amberson  and  finesinger. 
and  to  the  members  of  their  ilepartmenls  we  are  profoundlv 
grateful.  This  \ear  has  been  a  verv  enlightening  one  and  we 
are  looking  forward  to  the  next  three  with  renewed  vigor.  We 
sincerelv  hope  to  succeed  in  our  endeavors  as  students  and  upon 
completion  of  our  training  to  be  a  credit  to  our  school  and 
profession.

ANATOMY 

Instruction  in  human  anatomy  began  rather 
informally  in  1789  with  Dr.  Andrew  Wiesenthal's 
class  of  fifteen  students.  Since  that  time  many 
illustrious  names  have  appeared  as  head  of  the 
department.  Dr.  Eduard  Uhlenhuth  joined  the 
staff  of  the  University  of  Maryland  in  1925  and 
became  the  head  of  the  Department  of  Anatomy 
upon  the  retirement  of  Dr.  Carl  Davis  in  1948. 
Today  the  department  includes  that  of  anatomy, 
histology  and  embryology. 

As  Dr.  Uhlenhuth's  25th  Anniversity  Class  we 
feel  especially  proud  to  list  ourselves  with  others 
of  the  medical  profession  who  have  been  taught 
l)\  this  most  impressive  of  teachers.  The  dis- 
section of  the  human  body  has  known  stormy 
(lavs  in  the  last  400  vears,  but  we  as  freshmen 


Eduard  Uhlenhuth.  Ph.D.,  Professor  of 
Anatomy  and  head  of  the  department.  After 
studying  in  Vienna,  he  came  to  Maryland  in 
1925  and  has  been  active  in  teaching  and  re- 
search. He  worked  at  the  Rockefeller  Institute 
and  won  the  Van  Meter  Prize  in  1936.

forget  the  choked  up  feeling  we  had  the  night  we 
threw  a  surprise  dinner  at  llii-  Dcnhhes  Ilaus 
and  listened  to  the  cuh>gies  aM<l  praise  ahoiit  a 
wonderful  while  haired  scientist  and  teachi'r  who 
in  our  minds  was  both  a  gentleman  and  a  hellian 
when  the  occasion  demanded.  We  are  all  grate- 
ful for  his  teaching. 

Anatomy,  as  taught  l)\  Dr.  I  ld<'rilnilli  and  his 
staff,  is,  as  it  should  lie.  the  hasis  of  medical

such  men  as  l)rs.  Krahl.  Smith.  Mech.  I'helan 
and  F.  H.  J.  Figge  we  soon  came  to  realize  that  we 
were  no  longer  boys  but  men  assuming  the  re-

FRAl^K  H.  J.  FiGGE,  Ph.D.,  Professor 
of  Anatomy  has  been  on  the  faculty 
since  1929.  He  spends  most  of  his 
time  in  research  dealing  with  the  cancer 
problem.  In  his  teaching  capacity  he 
has  been  head  of  the  Histology  faculty 
since  1949. 


HISTOLOGY 

During  our  freshman  year  we  were  fortunate 
indeed  to  come  in  contact  with  Dr.  Frank  H.  J. 
Figge  and  his  staff  who  taught  us  not  only  his- 
tology and  embryology  but  also  how  to  critically 
analyze  motion  pictures.  We  were  tutored  in 
aspects  of  cellular  structure,  their  relationships  in 
the  various  organs  and  systems  and  their  func- 
tions. The  workings  of  the  microscope  were  no 
longer  strange  to  us.

BIOCHEMISTRY 

The   University   of  Wisconsin   has  long  been 

noted  for  its  ability  to  |)rociu(o  hiocheniists  and 
not  the  least  of  these  is  Dr.  Kinil  Schniidl.  who 
was  appointetl  111  ihi' (Irparliiifiit  in  1925. 

During  the  second  semester  of  the  first  year 
we  became  well  aware  of  the  fact  that  he  was 
out  to  teach  us  our  last  loniial  course  in  chem- 
istry, especialh  as  applied  to  the  human  body. 
We  also  learned  that  he  fostered  a  well-trained 
ulcer  which  like  any  such  deyice  acted  up  right  on 
schedule  when  spring  came  around.  But  with 
the  help  of  Amphojel  and  with  Ur.  Schmidt 
spending  Easter  yacation  following  his  ayoca- 
tion — golf — we  suryiyed  the  rigors  of  the  cour.se 
in  good  measure. 

We  became  intimateh  acquainted  with  the 
Krebs  cycle.  We  also  haye  memories  of  juggling 
a  gallon  jug  on  the  BTC  in  an  effort  to  collect  a 


24  hour  s])ecimen.  of  running  a  PSP,  and  of

we  were  introduced  into  the  complexities  and 
functions  of  coenzymes  and  the  utilization  of 
glucose.  It  might  be  said  that  he  carried  us 
from  coenzyme  I  to  valine. 

It  was  here  we  got  our  first  practical  experi- 
ence as  to  what  lay  ahead  for  us  as  clinical  clerks 
and  interns.  We  became  very  familiar  with 
Benedicts,  benzidine,  BL  N  and  BSP.  It  was 
here  too  that  we  tried  to  convince  ourselves  that 
maybe  two  blood  sugars  from  the  same  sample 
could  read  264  mg  different. 

We  were  also  plagued  by  that  most  irritating 
of  inventions,  the  decimal  point.  When  plead- 
ingly we  took  the  sample  to  Dr.  Schmidt  with 
the  correct  answer  but  the  decimal  in  the  wrong 
place  we  only  got  the  answer.  "Sorry,  son,  that 
patient  died  a  week  ago."

PHYSIOLOGY 

From  Dr.  Amliersun  s  experiences  at  Woods 
Hole  and  I  psala  to  the  Dofi  Fig:ht  of  1950  we 
thoroughly  enjoyed  our  assoeialion  willi  the  De- 
partment of  Physiology.  This  alile  group  of  men 
had  as  its  goal  the  desire  to  impress  u|)on  our 
slap-happy  synapses  the  functions  of  the  luirnaii 
body.  We  feel  that  they  succeedetl.  at  least  to  a 
certain  degree.  We  know  that  we  did  not  learn 
ail  that  was  offered,  hut  tlie\  did  leave  us  with 
the  feeling  that  there  is  some  semblance  of  order 
to  the  human  body  and  a  desire  to  learn  more 
about  it  in  the  years  to  come.  The  atnujsphere 
was  always  that  of  encouraging  inquiry  on  our 
part. 

The  "Dog  Fight  of  laiO"  ubirh  «as  ably 
sparked  by  the  Department  of  Phxsiology  and 
assisted  by  many  hundreds  of  their  fellows  in- 
terested in  science  throughout  the  ("ity  of  Bal- 
timore, and  indeed  the  entire  nation,  gave  to  all

our  aid  by  distributing  literature  at  the  polling

have  forbade  the  use  of  animals  for  research  and 
study. 

It  was  during  our  course  of  physiology  that 
we  received  our  first  glimpse  of  the  functioning

PSYCHIATRY 


JACOB  E.  FINESINGER.  B.A.,  M.A., 
M.D..  Professor  oj  Psychkitry  and 
Head  oj  the  Department.  He  has  been 
at  Maryland  since  1950  after  gradu- 
ating from  Johns  Hopkins  and  doing 
post-graduate  work  at  Harvard.  He  has 
been  instrumental  in  the  expansion  of 
the  psychiatry  program  at  Maryland 
which  has  resulted  in  the  building  of 
the  new  Psvchiatric  Institute. 


The  Department  of  Psychiatry  has  been  func- 
tioning at  the  School  of  Medicine  for  the  past  25 
years,  but  it  was  not  until  January.  1950,  when 
Dr.  Jacob  E.  Finesinger  was  appointed  that  it 
had  its  first  full-time  professor.  Dr.  Ross  McFu 
Chapman,  a  past  director  of  Shepard  Pratt  Hos- 
pital, was  the  first  Professor  of  Psychiatry,  serv- 
ing from  1923  to  1948. 

When  Dr.  Finesinger  arrived  in  1950  and  in- 
troduced us  to  our  course  he  posed  the  question 
"How  do  you  feel  about  that?"  With  this  and 
similar  questions  rolling  around  in  our  brains 
we  were  forced  to  conclude  that  certain  events 
had  occurred.  We  decided  that  we  could  answer 
the  question  without  having  much  idea  of  what 
we  were  answering  and  secondly,  that  this  was 
not  going  to  be  a  series  of  didactic  lectures. 
When  at  last  he  told  us  that  we  were  adults  and 


Well,  what  do  you  think  about  that?

would  i)e  treated  as;  such  our  worst  fears  were 
confirmed.  This  was  a  new  attitude  toward  edu- 
cation and  one  which  was  met  with  mixed  emo- 
tions. 

By  the  end  of  the  first  year  we  realized  that 
there  was  much  to  be  learned  from  Dr.  Finesing- 
er's  general  discussion  periods  and  seminars. 
We  continued  to  cultivate  our  interview  tech- 
nique in  the  sophomore  year  and  also  received 
fiidactic  material.  Our  junior  year  saw  increased 
activity  on  our  part.  We  journeyed  to  Shepard 
Pratt  and  Spring  Grove  Hospitals,  received  a 
good  short  course  in  psychoses  from  Ur.  Tuerk. 
and  spent  several  sessions  interview  in^  patients 
and  discussing  diagnosis. 

in  our  senior  year  we  spent  one  whole  imumIIi 
on  psychiatry  and  were  quite  pleased  to  be  the 
first  senior  class  to  go  through  our  tour  of  duty 
in  the  new   l's\chiatric   Institute.     AUIioukIi  not

upon  research  and  teaching  facilities,  it  shows 
the  fruits  of  good  planning  and  active  sup|)ort. 
Dr.  Finesinger  and  Dr.  Greenhill  and  the  other 
members  of  this  department  have  a  big  job  ahead 
of  them,  but  from  our  brief  but  lasting  associa-

The  Sophomore  year  was  dillercnt.  but  not  coasting  b\  any 
means.  The  professors  displayed  man\  idiosyncrasies — to  the 
pleasure  of  the  students — and  eyery  lecturer  had  his  own  special 
sayings  and  characteristics.  No  one  will  soon  forget  The  Hour  of

came  closer  to  our  final  goal:  the  little  touch  of  clinical  medicine

what  we  sayv.  We  started  to  study  disease  processes,  and  there 
was  a  certain  thrill  in  finally  learning  just  yvhat  those  names  ban-

BACTERIOLOGY 

A  sophomore  student  sat  on  his  high  stool 
contemplating  one  Dr.  F.  W.  Hachtel  and  the 
more  intimate  workings  of  the  bacteri-ah.  Many 
hundreds  of  doctors  have  come  to  know  the  above 
mentioned  gentleman  who  so  zealously  guards 
the  "bugs  '  on  the  2nd  floor  and  has  as  his  ded- 
icated purpose  the  teaching  of  bacteriology  to 
those  who  come  into  daily  contact  with  results 
of  bacterial  infection.  Dr.  Hachtel  joined  the 
department  in  1923. 

The  >ear  19.51  saw  added  activil\  in  the  de- 
|)artnient  when  Drs.  Steers  and  Smith  became 
part  of  the  teaching  staff.  In  addition  to  teach- 
ing, these  men  are  accentuating  the  much  needed 
backbone  of  modern  medicine — research.  In- 
terested in  both  the  biochemical  processes  of  bac- 
teria and  the  nature  of  viruses  they  can  do  much 


to  strengthen  and  expand  this  branch  of  our  basic 
medical  curriculum. 

It  was  in  the  Department  of  Bacteriology  that 
we  realized  there  is  an  art  to  medicine,  especially 
when  it  came  to  deciding  such  things  as  Brownian 
movement  vs  motility.  We  stabbed  slants,  plas- 
tered plates,  incubated  agars  and  tried  to  guess 
which  one  was  the  contaminant. 

In  nuv  last  week  in  Bacteriology  we  went 
through  that  horrible  ordeal  called  a  practical 
but  more  affectionately  known  as  Frank's  Fan- 
tasia.    Each  morning  we  eagerly  dashed  to  the

Still  reelinj;  from  readinji  the  rods  and  cocci

Words  like  litre,  agglutination,  hemolysins  and 
flocculation  soon  trickled  off  our  tongues  with 
such  alacrity  as  to  bring  awe  into  the  eyes  of 
every  freshman.  We  mixed  sheep  cells,  guinea 
pig  serum,  washed  human  cells  and  a  couple  of 
drops  from  an  old  bottle,  incubated,  water-bathed 
and  come  out  with  results  beyond  compare.

Assistant  Professor'  of  Medicine  in  Neurology 

NEUROLOGY 


One  of  the  more  instructive  courses  in  the 
clinical  years  was  neurology.  If  not  it  wasn't 
the  fault  of  the  staff  members  who  did  the  teach- 
ing. These  men  did  their  upmost  to  dispel  our 
fears  of  the  subject  and  at  times  had  us  believing 
that  we.  too,  could  make  a  diagnosis  that  was 
correct. 

Beginning  with  Dr.  Teitelbaum"s  lectures  in 
the  second  year,  we  successively  received  lec- 
tures from  Drs.  Merrill.  Fearing  and  Lerner. 
Dr.  George  Merrill,  a  mixture  of  doctor,  farmer 
and  preacher,  brightened  our  Saturday  mornings 
with  two-handed  drawings,  ten  minute  quizzes 
and  imitations  of  tabetics  while  giving  us  formal 
lectures  on  how  to  conduct  a  neurological  ex- 
amination and  information  on  some  of  the  more 
frequently  met  neurological  disorders. 

Dr.  William  Fearing,  the  curator  of  the  mu- 
seum at  City  Hospitals,  gave  us  some  very  in- 
structive sessions  on  chronic  conditions.  Here, 
armed  with  flashlights,  ophthalmoscope,  pins. 
reflex  hammers  and  wisps  of  cotton,  we  advanced 
upon  the  patient  and  after  much  tapping,  pulling 
and  poking  would  trv  to  come  up  with  the  correct 
diagnosis.  Many  of  us  are  still  looking  for  a 
clear  cut  case  of  temporal  pallor. 

Dr.  Lerner  is  chief  of  the  Neurology  Clinic 
at  Mercy  and  as  such  guided  us  in  our  first  ap- 
plication of  the  principles  we  had  been  taught 
in  the  years  before  and  also  helped  us  separate 
psychiatric  from  medical  neurological  problems. 
He  also  gave  us  the  present  day  concepts  on  such 
common  disorders  as  coma,  epilepsy  and  Park- 
insonism and  discussed  their  therapy. 

Dr.  Cotter  and  others  of  the  department  com- 
pleted the  picture  by  conducting  some  very  in- 
teresting clinics  and  ward  rounds  with  the  help 
of  the  staff  at  University  Hospital.

PATHOLOGY 

One  of  the  most  profitable  experiences  that 
can  happen  to  any  medical  student  is  his  asso- 
ciation with  the  study  of  pathology.  Here  at 
the  University  of  Maryland  this  has  long  been 
recognized  and  we  were  indeed  fortunate  to  have 
been  taught  by  the  mendjers  of  this  department. 

As  early  as  1838  there  was  a  desire  on  the  part 
of  Davidge  and  Potter  to  establish  the  teaching 
of  pathology  under  a  separate  head,  but  it  was 
not  until  1847  when  a  lectureship  under  Dr.  G. 


W.  Mittenberger  was  established  that  this  desire 
was  realized.  One  of  the  early  difficulties  was 
the  dearth  of  good  teaching  material.  For  many 
years  the  Almshouse,  later  BCH,  was  the  sole 
source  of  material.  This,  added  to  the  private 
collection  of  Dr.  G.  S.  Pattison,  was  the  only 
available  material.  When  Christopher  Johnson 
became  Lecturer  in  Experimental  Physiology  and 
Microscopy  in  1855  he  stimulated  the  use  of  the 
microscope  in  studying  pathologic  specimens. 
This  increased  the  student's  ability  to  learn  and 
a  desire  for  more  autopsies.     W.  A.  Hammond 


35 


in  1861  succeeded  Johnson  and  obtained  three 
microscopes  for  student  use.  After  Dr.  Ham- 
mond, Drs.  F.  Donaldson,  1866-1880.  and  I.  E. 
Atkinson,  1881-1886,  successively  occupied  the 
chief  spot  in  the  department. 

The  late  1800"s  saw  two  graduates  of  this 
school  attaining  prominence  in  the  field  of  path- 
ology. These  were  N.  G.  Keirle  and  W.  T.  Coun- 
cilman. It  wasn't  until  1915  that  full-time  teach- 
ers were  employed.  The  first  of  these  was  Dr. 
W.  R.  Stokes,  1915-1919.  In  1921  Dr.  Hugh  R. 
Spencer,  present  head  of  the  department,  assumed 
his  professorship  and  through  his  leadership 
there  has  developed  at  the  University  of  Mary- 
land one  of  the  finest  teaching  groups  in  the 
country. 

We  first  came  into  contact  with  the  department 
in  the  second  year  when  we  had  lectures  on  the 
subject  and  studied  microscopic  sections.  In 
the  third  year  we  split  into  small  groups  which 


with  the  aid  of  the  twin  stimuli  of  a  high,  hard 
stool  and  an  eyeful  of  formalin,  learned  what 
some  of  the  gross  lesions  of  the  various  organs 
are.  It  was  during  this  year  that  we  attended 
our  required  number  of  autopsies.  At  these  we 
assisted,  observed  and  obtained  a  good  workable 
knowledge  of  the  effect  disease  processes  have 
upon  the  bodily  organs.  In  writing  up  these 
autopsies  we  correlated  pathology  with  physi- 
ology and  physical  signs. 

In  the  senior  year  we  came  to  enjoy  that  most 
stimulating  of  exercises,  the  CPC.  First  added 
to  the  teaching  curriculum  in  1913,  this  forum 
allows  the  students  and  professors  to  meet  on 
equal  footing  and  vie  for  the  correct  diagnosis. 
Here  we  bowed  on  the  fact  and  the  rather  thor- 
ough coup-de-grace  administered  by  Dr.  Spencer 
and  the  members  of  his  staff.  Much  was  learned 
by  all  during  these  sessions.

PHARMACOLOGY 

By  the  time  we  had  reached  the  third  floor 
of  Bressler  we  had  heard  rumors  that  the  De- 
partment of  Pharmacology  was  a  smoothly  func- 
tioning outfit.  Actually  we  weren't  surprised  to 
hear  the  perfect  diction  of  Dr.  Krantz,  but  we 
were  amazed  to  find  that  we  had  to  come  to 
medical  school  to  hear  the  English  language 
spoken  as  few  take  the  care  to  speak  it.  However 
we  soon  came  to  realize  that  it  was  not  our  lot 
to  sit  and  admire  the  smooth  manner  of  Dr. 
Krantz  and  the  mild  thoroughness  of  Dr.  Carr. 
To  the  contrary,  after  the  first  tea-party  it  was 
strongly  hinted  by  our  classmates  that  we  should 
know  the  action  of  drugs  well. 

We  met  pharmacology  during  our  sophomore 


John  C.  Krantz,  Jr.,  Ph.D.,  D.Sc, 

Professor  of  Pharmacology  and  Head 
of  the  Department,  assumed  his  present 
post  in  the  year  1932.  after  obtaining 
his  Ph.D.  from  Maryland  in  1928.  He 
is  the  receiver  of  honorary  degrees 
from  other  institutions,  the  Simon 
Medal  and  the  Ebert  Prize  in  Chemis- 
try. He  has  been  the  director  of  Sharp 
and  Dohme  Pharmaceutical  research. 
Chief  of  Maryland  bureau  of  chemistry 
and  since  1940  chairman  of  the  U.  S. 
Pharmacoepia  Revision.  He  is  also  the 
author  of  several  texts  ( pharmacology 
and  speech) . 


year  and  were  given  a  very  complete  and  thor- 
ough lecture  course  on  drugs,  their  properties 
and  actions.  The  laboratory  periods  were  well 
integrated  with  lecture  material  and  it  was  here 
that  we  could  observe  firsthand  the  pharmaco- 
logical action  of  various  preparation  on  animals. 
We  began  to  learn  dosage,  forms  of  drugs  and 
had  much  practice  in  filling  out  the  physician's 
calling  card — the  prescription  blank. 

Aside  from  displaying  their  pleasing  teaching 
talents  and  running  a  very  instructive  course, 
the  members  of  this  department  are  actively  en- 
gaged in  many  activities  including  research.  In 
looking  back  we  find  that  although  this  course 
had  its  challenging  moments  we  are  proud  to 
have  passed  some  time  with  Dr.  Krantz  and  his 
efficient  group  who  are  continually  searching  for 
new  therapeutic  agents  and  who  are  aiding  others 
of  the  school  to  maintain  the  name  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Maryland.  School  of  Medicine,  as  a  lead- 
ing force  in  modern  medicine.

Walter  L.  Kilby.  M.D..  Professor  of  Roentgenology 
and  the  Head  of  the  Department,  graduated  from  the 
University  of  Virginia  in  1933.  He  received  radio- 
logical training  at  the  same  institution  and  in  Cin- 
cinnati. He  has  been  connected  with  the  University 
of  Maryland  since  1936,  except  for  a  four  year  period 
when  he  was  with  the  U.  S.  Army  in  the  Pacific. 


ROENTGENOLOGY 

Ever  since  Wilhelm  Conrad  Roentgen  first  in- 
troduced the  use  of  X-ray  into  the  world  this 
branch  of  science  has  come  to  play  an  ever  in- 
creasingly important  role  in  medicine.  At  the 
University  of  Maryland  we  are  fortunate  indeed 
to  have  a  most  efficient  department  and  one  which 
is  proud  of  its  past  and  the  role  it  has  played  in 
medicine. 

As  early  as  April.  1896.  scarcely  four  months 
after  Roentgen's  announcement,  positive  evidence 
was   forthcoming  that   there  existed  at  the  Uni- 


versity of  Maryland  ideas  as  to  how  X-ray  might 
play  an  important  part  in  diagnosis.  It  was  at 
this  time  that  Dr.  John  C.  Hemmeter,  Professor 
of  Gastroenterology,  published  his  article  "Pho- 
tography of  the  Human  Stomach".  The  first 
X-ray  apparatus  for  general  use  was  installed  in 
the  second  floor  of  the  University  Hospital  annex 
in  the  summer  of  lo96.  At  first  no  particular 
person  was  in  charge  of  the  apparatus  and  its 
use  was  both  promiscuous  and  practical.  In  the 
year  1900  the  department  was  organized  with 
Dr.  Compton  Riely  as  head.  His  tenure  was 
short  lived  because  the  X-ray  was  causing  severe 


Codington  confirms   his 
impression. 


burns  and  desquamation  of  his  hands.  He  was 
succeeded  by  Dr.  William  Bryant  Fitch  in  1901 
who  served  until  1904  when  he  resigned  because 
of  poor  health.  Dr.  Nathan  Winslow  then  as- 
sumed the  role  of  head  of  the  department  but  he, 
too.  was  forced  to  resign  because  he  also  suffered 
the  early  uncontrolled  effects  of  X-ray.  Among 
his  notes  are  found  these  observations:  Proper 
examination  of  the  hands  takes  1  minute,  chest 
3  minutes,  kidney  8-10  miimtes  and  the  pelvis 
\r>  minutes.  He  was  succeeded  by  Dr.  Howard 
E.  Ashbury  who  resigned  1911. 

New  life  was  instilled  into  the  department 
when  Dr.  Robert  (Ihandlec  became  head  in  1911. 
This  man  was  one  of  the  pioneers  of  X-ray  and 
a  great  teacher.  He  travelled  abroad  and  brought 
back  the  first  radium  to  be  used  for  skin  lesions 
in  Haltimore.  His  successor.  Dr.  H.  J.  Walton, 
set  up  the  first  full  time  X-ray  department  in 
Baltimore  in  1923.  In  1936  Dr.  Walter  Kilby 
joined  Dr.  Walton,  first  Professor  Emeritus,  and 
after  his  retirement  became  head  of  the  Dejiart- 
ment  of  Hoentyenoloiiv.

GYNECOLOGY 

The  Department  of  Gynecology  had  a  very 
humble  and  modest  beginning.  About  1849  we 
find  the  first  mention  of  actual  delivery  of  lec- 
tures on  "Diseases  of  Women"  by  Professor  Rich- 
ard H.  Thomas.  Actually  the  department  did 
not  have  its  beginning  until  1867  when  it  for- 
mally organized  with  Dr.  W.  T.  Howard  as  its 
head.

His  successor  was  Dr.  Thcimas  Ashl>\  hIi"  up- 
held the  position  in  every  respect.  Dr.  William 
Gardner  succeeded  Dr.  Ashhv  in  1016.  He  was 
instrumental  in  establishing  the  Oncolo{;\  Depart- 
ment and  persuaded  department  members  to 
carry  on  further  research.  The  use  of  radium 
was  also  becoming  more  widespread  and  the  in- 
formation assimilated  within  the  department 
helped  others  to  better  understand  the  use  of  this 
valuable  material  in  gvnecologic  problems. 

Dr.  J.  Mason  Hundley,  Jr.,  became  head  of 
the  department  in  1936  and  under  his  leadership 
a  most  efficient  and  progressive  group  have  taken 
over  the  teaching  of  gynecology.  Dr.  Hundley 
was  Associate  Professor  in  1927  and  1931  saw 
him  going  to  Germany  for  further  study  in  Kiel 
and  Berlin. 

In  our  junior  vear  we  were  introduced  to 
gvnecologv  bv  a  series  of  lectures  upon  the  sub- 
ject b\  various  members  oi  the  staff.  Dr.  Diehls 
lectures  on  malignancies  of  the  female  organs 
were  especially  well  received.  During  our  senior 
year  we  spent  our  time  in  the  clinics,  clinical 
conferences,  seminars,  and  operative  clinic.  Now 
we  could  do  a  complete  physical.

Harry  M.  Robinson.  Sr.,  M.D..  Pro- 
lessor  of  Dermatology  was  a  member 
of  the  class  of  1909.  After  graduation 
he  entered  general  practice  while  con- 
tinuing his  studies  at  Johns  Hopkins 
and  the  University.  He  became  inter- 
ested in  dermatology  and  in  1933  ob- 
tained his  American  Boards.  In  1937 
he  was  appointed  Professor  of  Derma- 
tology and  has  continued  with  his 
research  in  dermatologicai  problems  as 
well  as  building  up  a  fine  teaching 
clinic. 

DERMATOLOGY 

One  of  the  most  colorful  of  the  departments  is  the  one 
which  holds  forth  in  the  basement  of  the  dispensary  build- 
ing. Its  purpose  is  to  teach  everyone  to  recognize  the  fifty 
most  common  skin  lesions.  As  juniors  we  held  weekly  quiz- 
zes under  Robbie  Sr.,  who  made  dire  threats  about  our  future 
if  we  didn't  start  soaking  up  some  dermatology.  As  seniors 
we  received  a  concentrated  dose  of  teaching  talent  and  clin- 
ical material.  This  department  did  more  than  just  present

MEDICINE 

-Siniuhaneouslv  with  the  foundinj;  nf  the  iiicdi- 
cal  school  the  |>iofessorshi|i  of  Mefliciiie  was  es- 
tal)Iishe(l  and  since  that  time  there  have  l)een 
many  great  and  some  rather  colorful  doctors  who 
have  held  the  chair  as  head  of  the  departnient. 
Dr.  George  Brown,  an  Irishman  hy  birth,  was  the 
first  to  be  appointed  the  head  of  the  Department, 
but  he  resigned  immediateK  in  favor  of  Dr.  Na- 
thaniel Potter.  Dr.  Potter,  who  was  Professor  of 
Medicine  for  thirty-six  years,  was  a  native  of  the 
Eastern  Shore  and  received  his  MD  at  the  I  ni- 
versity  of  Pennsylvania.  He  wrote  several  trea- 
tises, the  most  notable  of  which  was  Potter  on 
Contasiiou.  in  which  he  advanced  the  theory  of 
the  non-contagious  nature  of  Yellow  Fever.  In 
addition  to  his  teaching  duties  he  was  kept  busy 
trving  to  hold  the  newlv  founded  school  together 
and    battle    an    unfriendlv    administration.      An 


example  of  his  difliculty  is  illustrated  b\  Profes- 
sor Potter's  first  fight  with  the  janitor.  This 
occurred  u  hen  the  Professor  tried  to  stop  the 
janitor  from  running  a  gambling  den  behind

Maurice  C.  Pincoffs.  B.S..  M.D.. 
Professor  of  Medicine  and  the  Head 
of  the  Department,  graduated  from 
the  Johns  Hopkins  School  of  Medicine 
in  1912.  During  World  War  I  he  re- 
ceived the  DSC  and  Croix  de  Guerre  and 
in  World  War  II  was  a  Brigadier  Gen- 
eral in  the  Medical  Corps.  Since  1921 
he  has  been  a  Professor  of  Medicine  at 
the  University,  is  Editor  of  the  Annals 
of  Internal  Medicine,  and  is  the  Assis- 
tant to  the  President  of  the  University 
as  regards  the  Medical  School.

dents.  The  administration  ignored  Dr.  Potter's 
complaint  and  refused  to  take  action. 

In  1843  Drs.  Joseph  Roby  and  Richard  Stew- 
art were  successive  occupants  of  the  professor- 
ship. Dr.  Elisha  Bartlett  was  appointed  in  1844 
but  only  held  this  position  two  years.  His  suc- 
cessor was  Dr.  William  Powers,  a  graduate  of 
the  University  of  Maryland.  He  was  a  brilliant 
and  able  teacher  and  his  untimely  death  from 
tuberculosis  was  a  great  loss  to  the  University. 

The  next  man  to  head  the  department  was  Dr. 
Samuel  Chew.  He  headed  it  through  the  stormy 
years  just  before  and  during  the  Civil  War  and 
managed  to  keep  the  school  going  despite  a 
dearth  of  students.  His  successor.  Dr.  Richard 
McSherry.  was  a  militarv  doctor  who  had  gained

Sherry  died  in  liUJS,  Dr.  Samuel  ('..  (Ihew,  son 
of  Dr.  Chew,  was  promoted  to  Professor  of  Medi- 
cine. He  served  in  that  caiiacitN  until  1010  and 
did  much  to  improve  and  moderni/.e  the  depart- 
ment. 

Dr.  (Jordon  Wilson  was  appointed  to  the  Chair 
of  Medicine  in  191.1  A  graduate  of  the  I  niver- 
silv  of  Virginia  in  l!!y9  he  was  resident  physician 
under  Osier  and  studied  under  Dr.  Welch  and 
later  under  Dr.  Chiari  at  Strashourg.  I  jtiui  his 
death  in  1932  Dr.  Maurice  C.  Pincoflfs  was  made 
head  of  the  department.

OBSTETRICS 

The  principles  of  obstetrics  have  obviously 
been  known  to  mankind  for  thousands  of  years. 
Here  at  the  University  of  Maryland  obstetrics 
has  been  formally  taught  since  1813  when  Dr. 
Richard  Hall  gave  his  first  series  of  lectures. 
The  present  head  of  the  department.  Dr.  Louis 
H.  Douglass,  has  been  teaching  obstetrics  for 
more  than  forty  years.  He  became  head  of  the 
department  in  1938  and  through  his  undying  de- 
sire for  better  obstetrics  has  built  the  department 
into  a  highly  efficient  organization. 

The  course  in  obstetrics  was  one  continuous 
integrated  series  of  lectures  and  clinics  which 
were  spread  over  a  three  year  period.  In  our 
sophomore  year  we  were  given  our  introduction 
to  the  subject  by  Dr.  Reese.  Our  junior  year 
included  a  series  of  didactic  lectures  by  various 
members  of  the  staff,  a  "dry"  clinic  on  the  tech-

degree  from  the  University  of  Mary- 
land, and  has  been  teaching  at  the 
I  niversity  since  his  graduation,  some 
forty  odd  years  ago.  During  World 
War  I  he  served  with  the  Navy.  Under 
his  directorship,  the  obstetrical  service

At  City  we  were  brought  out  of  the  textbook  and 
faced  with  actual  deliveries.  We  enjoyed  all  of 
it  and  especially  our  association  with  Dr.  Emer- 
son Fackler  and  his  staff. 

Our  senior  year  was  a  fitting  climax.  During 
our  two  week  stay  we  probably  lost  more  sleep 
than  we  ever  had  in  our  lives.  We  were  assigned 
to  the  delivery  suite  and  there  assisted  the  visit- 
ing men,  observed  some  of  the  more  complicated 
deliveries,  and  delivered  a  few  babies  ourselves. 
We  also  made  daily  ward  rounds  with  the  staff 
and  attended  conferences.  We  concluded  that 
arrival  times  should  be  better  scheduled.

by  Dr.  Abranis  whose  lectures  basically  oriented

Nose  and  TFiroal  (ilinic  at  the  I  niversitv 
Hospital  and  was  actixe  in  research  in  his 
field.  His  death  in  January,  1953,  was  a  great 
loss  to  the  nieflical  profession,  the  school  and 
the  hospital. 


OTOLARYNGOLOGY 

In  onr  junior  \car  this  liran<  li  o(  the  surjiical 
specialties  was  ably  introduced  and  taught  to  us 
hy  Drs.  Looper.  0"Koiirk.  el  al.  V)t.  Kdward  A. 
Looper.  late  head  of  the  department.  deli\ered 
lectures  on  the  more  connnon  diseases  of 
the  nose  and  throat.  He  supplemented  these  with 
much  personal  material  in  the  form  of  reprints, 
movies,  lantern  slides  and  anecdotes.  We  all  re- 
memher  his  1)\  now  famous  episode  in  which  he 
performed  an  emergency  tracheotonn  ahoard  a

under  the  eye  of  Dr.  Thomas  Michael,  resident 
in  otolarvngolog\ .  At  Mer(\  Hospital  under  the 
guidance  of  Dr.  Zinn  and  his  colleagues  we  prac- 
ticed pushing  tongue  blades,  peering  down  bron-

maneuvers,  sometimes  with  timiditv  but  ahva\s 
hopeful  of  the  outcome.

J.  Edmund  Bradley,  M.D.,  Professor 
oj  Pediatrics  and  the  Head  of  the  De- 
partment, graduated  from  Medical 
School  at  Georgetown  in  1932  and  took 
further  training  in  Boston.  Although 
engaged  in  an  active  practice,  he  was 
an  instructor  of  pediatrics  at  the  Lni- 
versity.  In  1946  he  hecanie  the  Direc- 
tor of  Pediatrics  at  the  Permonte 
Foundation  in  California  and  Oregon. 
In  1948  he  returned  to  the  University 
as  a  full-time  professor  and  was 
appointed   the   department    head. 


PEDIATRICS 

Although  pediatrics  was  not  recognized  as  an 
important  and  separate  department  when  the 
School  of  Medicine  was  established,  still,  as  far 
back  as  1845  we  find  that  instruction  was  being 
given  in  the  diseases  of  children.  The  first  record 
states  that  they  were  "treated  and  explained"  by 
Professor  Hall,  who  had  the  title  of  Professor  of 
Midwifery.  Diseases  of  Women  and  Children. 

Dr.  William  Howard  was  elected  to  the  newly 
created  chair  of  Diseases  of  Women  and  Children 
in  1867  in  what  was  perhaps  the  earliest  recog- 
nition in  this  country  of  these  departments  as 
independent  branches  of  medicine. 

It  was  not  until  30  years  later,  in  1897.  that 
the  Department  of  Diseases  of  Children  emerged 
as  an  independent  entity.  Dr.  Charles  Mitchell,

was  appointed  Professor  of  Diseases  of  Children. 
By  1900  we  find  that  the  catalogue  of  the  Faculty 
of  Medicine  lists  several  hours  a  week  in  the  third 
and  fourth  years  de\olcd  lo  the  lea<hing  of  dis- 
eases of  children. 

In  1916  Dr.  John  Kulirali  uas  appointed  fii^l 
Professor  of  Pediatrics  at  the  School  ol  Medicine.

position  of  Professor  of  Pediatrics  and  is  head  of 
the  department.

ing the  junior  year  at  which  time  a  series  of 
lectures  were  given  by  various  members  of  the 
staff.  They  consist  of  formal  lectures  in  the 
growth  and  development  of  the  newborn,  infant 
feeding  and  fundamentals  of  diseases  of  infants 
and  children.  Several  lectures  on  contagious 
diseases  are  also  given  in  conjunction  with  an-

In  our  senior  year  we  were  glad  to  have  been 
associated  with  this  department  because  they  pre- 
sented a  fine,  concentrated,  instructive  course. 
We  were  divided  into  two  sections — Mercy  and 
University.  The  relative  merits  of  these  sections 
are  difficuh  to  evaluate  from  the  participants. 
Those  at  the  Lniversity  swore  they  were  slaves — 
we  have  reason  to  believe  different — and  those  at 
Mercy  say  they  practiced  more  pediatrics  walking 
from  University  Hospital  to  Mercy  Hospital  than 
did  their  confreres  during  the  entire  month.  We 
feel  that  both  learned  their  due  amount.

The  University  "f  Maryland,  School  of  Medi-

John  Beale  Davidgc  He  received  his  medical 
training  at  Edinburgh  and  Glasgow  and  returned 
to  his  native  Baltimore  in  17%.  Several  vears 
later  he  hegan  his  annual  series  of  lectures  in  his 
office.  These  lectures  were  the  licginiiing  <if  the 
present  school. 

When  the  medical  school  was  founded.  Dr. 
Davidge,  because  of  his  early  interest  and  prom- 
inence in  the  community,  and  Dr.  James  Cocke 
were  appointed  co-Professors  of  Surgery.  Ana- 
tomy and  Physiology.  In  1812  Dr.  William 
Gihson  was  appointed  Professor  of  .Surgerv. 
After  his  resignation  Dr.  (Jrainille  Pattison  was 
appointed  and  held  that  position  until  1826.  In 
1827  Dr.  Nathan  Smith.  previousK  Professor  of 
Surgery    at    Jefferson    Medical    .School,    assumed 


the   role  of  Professor  of  .Surger\    and   held   this 
|)osition  for  4.H  \ears. 

In  1869  Dr.  (^lirislopher  Johnson  succeeded 
him.  A  versatile  and  capable  man.  his  interests 
included  art.  microscopy  and  scientific  writing. 
He  performed  an  extirpation  of  the  mandihie  in 
1873  and  repair  of  extrophv  of  the  Madder  in 
1876.  Dr.  Louis  Tiffany  was  a|)|)ointed  to  head

medical  education  and  surgery.  Medical  school 
training  which  had  been  a  two  year  course  with 
total  fees  of  $120  was  increased  to  three  years  in 
1891  and  five  )ears  later  to  four  years.  Lister's 
antiseptic  technique  and  improvements  in  anes- 
thesia now  made  elective  surgery  possible.  Dr. 
Tiffany  himself  reported  cases  of  successful  col- 
ostomy in  1877  and  in  1885  he  did  the  first 
nephrolithotomy  in  the  U.S.  Several  other  teach- 
ing units  and  hospitals  were  opened  around  this 
time,  most  notable  the  Baltimore  Eye  and  Ear 
Hospital  and  in  1889  the  John  Hopkins  Hospital. 

In  1897.  the  present  out-patient  clinic  was  built 
for  $70,000.  At  that  time  it  was  the  new  Uni- 
versity Hospital  which  replaced  the  Old  Univer- 
sity Infirmary  built  in  1874.  Another  great  ad- 
vance during  Dr.  Tiffany's  time  was  the  adoption 
of  the  Anatomv  Law  in  1882.  which  assigned  to 
the  medical  college  all  unclaimed  bodies. 

In  1873  Randolph  Winslow  finished  the  two 
year  course  at  the  medical  school.  He  held  nu- 
merous appointments  at  the  Liniversity  and  in 
1902  he  became  Professor  of  Surgery.  Dr.  Wins- 
low  was  a  prolific  author  and  avid  student.  He 
was  noted  for  his  studies  of  gunshot  wounds  and 
goitre.  In  1888  he  performed  the  first  vaginal 
hvsterectomv  in  Maryland.

Dr.  Arthur  M.  .Shipley  was  next  to  he  ap-

the  Baltimore  Medical  College.  College  of  Physi- 
cians and  Surgeons,  and  the  I  niversitv  in  191.5- 
17  made  much  more  clinical  material  availahle 
for  teaching.  Dr.  .Shipley  made  good  u.se  of 
this  facilit\  and  stressed  the  hedside  teaching  of 
the  student. 

The  first  World  War  hrought  inanx  new  ad- 
vances to  surgery.  Dr.  Shipley,  who  served  in 
the  I  .S.  Army,  was  ahle  to  use  Dakin"s  solution 
in  wound  irrigation.  The  benefit  of  this  and 
other  advances  such  as  whole  blood  transfusion, 
better  techniques  in  colon  surgery  and  ortho- 
pedics and  clinical  laboratory  measurement  were 
soon  manifested  in  the  type  of  surgery  done  and 
the  decreasing  mortality  rate. 

The  present  Lniversity  Hospital  was  built  in 
1934  and  incorporated  the  facilities  necessary 
for  modern  surgerv.     Soon  after  this  the  succes-

We  had  previously  started  our  quest  for  sur-

met  with  Dr.  "Turk""  Adams.  He  gave  us  an  in-

In  our  junior  year  we  were  exposed  to  the 
teachings  of  Dr.  Harry  Hull  in  what  was  con- 
sidered by  many  class  members  to  be  the  best 
prolonged  series  of  lectures  bv  one  man  in  the 
entire  curriculum.  We  soon  came  to  enjoy  his 
earl\  morning  class  which  was  always  studded 
with  anecdotes,  aphorisms  and  tales  of  the  past 
greats  in  surgery.  Occasionally,  however,  we 
were  left  with  red  faces  and  a  feeling  somewhat 
akin  to  his  proverbial  "pithed  goat"'  when  in  a 
spot  quiz  we  failed  to  come  up  with  some  of 
his  1 — 2 — 3"s.  All  was  not  didactic  because  we 
sincerely  enjoyed  our  rounds  at  B.C.H.  with  Drs. 
Brantigan  and  Adams. 

As  seniors  we  saw  enough  of  the  insides  of 
the  O.R.'s  at  Mercy  and  the  University  to  know 
that  we  were  far  from  being  surgeons,  but  we  had 
received  a  good  basic  groundwork.

OPHTHALMOLOGY 

Inlrochiciiiiii  Id  ophthalmology  occurred  in  our 
junior  year.  The  anatomy  and  physiologv  of  the 
c\e  were  discussed  by  Ur.  Osazewski.  as  well  as 
some  of  the  more  common  ocular  diseases.  We 
also  spent  time  at  the  Baltimore  Eye,  Ear  and 
Throat  Hospital  seeing  slides  of  pathological 
fundi  and  viewing  eye  grounds  of  patients. 

Most  of  our  e.\perience  in  ophthalmology  in 
the  fourth  year  was  gained  during  the  month  we 
spent  at  the  eye  clinic.  Here  we  took  histories, 
examined  the  eye  and  treated  a  variety  of  ocular 
conditions.  Also  at  this  time  the  slit  lamp  and 
other  special  instruments  were  demonstrated. 
Lectures  and  slides  at  this  time,  added  lectures, 
slides  and  movies  during  the  year  and  weekly 
eye  rounds  while  on  medicine  at  Mercy  all  added 
lo  iiur  kiKiuleilgf  of  ii|)htlialinc)logy.

impossible  that  this  has  finally  come.  During  the  earlier  years,  the  senior  year

LOUIS  CROFT  ARP,  JR. 

Louie  is  a  well-developed,  well-nourished,  white  male 
who  has  voted  Republican  ever  since  his  grand  debut 
in  Moline.  111.,  in  1927.  An  excellent  rifle  shot  and  an 
ex-Gob,  Lou  had  fourteen  months  of  carrier  duty  in 
the  Pacific  and  Caribbean.  On  discharge  he  returned 
to  Iowa  State  U.  and  graduated  in  1949.  At  the  end  of 
his  freshman  medical  year  Lou  married  his  college 
sweetheart,  Patricia  Pinney,  and  now  has  a  daughter, 
Gretchen.  Lou.  this  year's  Nu  Sig  president,  has  spent 
his  summers  working  with  his  father,  a  physician  and 
surgeon,  in  Muline.  He  plans  to  spend  some  time  in 
OB-Gyn  then  go  into  general  practice  back  home. 


RICHARD  MOFFETT  BALDWIN 

Dick  deserted  his  home  state  of  Florida  where  he  was 
born  in  1928  to  come  north  for  educational  purposes. 
He  attended  both  Loyola  High  School  and  College; 
during  this  time  his  list  of  good-looking  single  women 
grew  from  the  embryo  to  its  present  proportion.  Salis- 
bury gained  Dick's  professional  and  other  attributes  in 
summer  '52  when  he  externed  at  Peninsula  General.  It 
is  rumored  he  worked  every  other  night  at  the  hospital 
and  every  other  night  at  Ocean  City,  but  Dick  denies 
this  saying  he  did  find  time  for  golf.  After  leaving 
medical  school  and  Nu  Sigma  Nu  he  plans  to  continue 
study  in  OB-Gyn  down  south.

GEORGE  HENRY  BECK 

From  October  6,  1924,  dates  the  career  of  George.  Two 
years  were  spent  in  the  Marine  Corps  including  56  days 
on  the  "Seapike"  and  a  tour  of  "rough  duty"  on  Okinawa. 
After  winning  the  war  he  attended  Western  Maryland 
College,  graduated  in  1949.  While  there  he  met  Wanda 
whom  he  married  in  January,  1953.  During  medical 
school  George  has  been  an  easy-going,  jovial  person; 
yet  one  who  is  quite  capable  of  sobriety  if  the  occasion 
demands.  He  enjoyed  work  in  the  clinics  and  got  a 
special  "charge"  out  of  the  "crocks."  Future  plans  in- 
clude interning  in  Baltimore  but  after  that  his  plans  are 
indefinite. 


SCOTT  BRUCE  BERKELEY,  JR. 

Bruce  arrived  in  December.  1927,  a  little  early  for 
Christmas  but  his  parents  decided  to  keep  him  anyway. 
After  leaving  high  school  in  Goldsboro,  N.C.,  young 
Berkele}  decided  to  make  his  fortune  at  the  University 
of  North  Carolina  where  he  got  his  A.B.  in  spite  of  the 
KA  party  life.  Then  he  went  to  the  U.N.C.  medical 
school  where  he  excelled  in  extra-curricular  activities  as 
well  as  studies.  After  two  years  Bruce  transferred  to  the 
big  city  to  finish  medicine.  In  the  intervening  summers 
he  was  foremost  surgical  consultant  at  Wayne  County 
Memorial  Hospital  and  will  probably  continue  his  career 
in  surgery.

having  been  married  to  Anne  in  1946.  A  good  part  of

in  the  Army.  Besides  Phi  Beta  Pi.  Tom's  extracurricular

uhile  completing  his  undergraduate  study  at  Hopkins, 
Walt  succumhed  to  the  magnetism  of  the  West.  Photo- 
graphic-camping explorations  carried  him  through  North

of  medical  school  has  never  been  seen  with  even  one 
strand  out  of  its  normal  physiologic  position.  Quiet  and

wiiere  he  was  born  in  1926.  His  extreme  loyalty  to  the

orchestra  at  school  dances  to  play  "Carolina  Moon." 
Charlie  deserted  bachelorhood  when  he  married  Marilvn

JULES  BERNARD  EDLOW 

Jules,  known  to  his  classmates  as  '"Eddy",  was  born  in 
Baltimore  in  1925.  He  entered  the  armed  services  in  1943 
spending  three  iiears  in  the  Navy  attached  to  the  Fleet 
Marine  Force.  Returning,  he  took  his  pre-medical  train- 
ing at  College  Park  receiving  his  B.S.  degree  after  a  year 
of  medical  school.  He  is  a  member  of  Phi  DE.  Summers 
were  spent  in  working  as  a  butcher,  a  shoe  salesman,  and 
a  medical  lab  technician.  Since  the  beginning  of  the  clin- 
ical years  Jules,  one  of  the  few  eligible  bachelors  left  in 
the  class,  has  been  especially  interested  in  the  rarer  med- 
ical diseases  and  favors  internal  medicine. 


HARRY  LUKE  EYE 

Luke,  one  of  the  younger  members  of  the  class,  is  a 
1929  native  of  Pendleton  County,  W.  Va.  He  was  grad- 
uated magna  cum  laude  from  West  Virginia  University

liills  as  a  country  practitioner. 


HUGH  VALENTINE  FIROR 

Hugh  is  a  true  rebel,  hailing  from  Athens.  Ga.:  his 
father,  however,  is  a  former  Baltimorean  and  professor 
at  the  University  of  Georgia.  Hugh  was  quickly  estab- 
lished as  one  of  the  class  scholars  and  was  initiated  into 
AOA.  Some  doubt  his  mental  alacrity,  however,  because 
of  the  calibre  of  his  oft  repeated  "jokes."  At  present,  he 
totters  on  the  brink  of  marriage;  and  some  Sunday  in  the 
near  future  will  probably  find  him  and  Betty  under  one 
roof.  Externships  were  served  at  "the  Square"  and  at 
Mercy;  a  summer  was  spent  as  a  camp  physician,  and 
another  with  a  G.P.  in  Arkansas.  His  active  and  erudite 
mind  assure  him  continued  success  in  his  field.

SYLVAN  FRIEMAN 

With  a  heart)  first  cry  on  January  30,  1928.  "Syl" 
arrived  in  Baltimore  with  a  small  black  bag  in  one  hand 
and  a  bridge  deck  in  the  other.  Relegating  the  bridge  to 
a  place  of  secondary  importance,  he  followed  the  black 
bag  to  medical  school.  Events  during  medical  school  in- 
cluded membership  in  Phi  DE.  and  externships  during 
the  summers  at  Lutheran  Hospital,  Baltimore,  and  Jewish 
Hospital,  Philadelphia.  Further  events  in  Philadelphia 
led  to  a  meeting  at  the  altar  in  June,  1952.  and  the  former 
Doris  Rosenblatt  became  Mrs.  Frieman.  Looking  into 
the  future,  Syl  plans  to  go  into  general  surgery.

FREDERICK  ADAMS  GARLOCK 


'# 


Fred  has  been  a  Mar\  lander  since  1926.  claiming  Beth- 
esda  for  his  home  town.  He  is  an  8-year  University  of 
Maryland  man  with  a  3  year  interruption  for  naval  duty. 
He  and  Carolyn  were  married  in  1947  and  account  for 
two  little  Garlocks.  fred  has  enjoyed  varied  summer 
jobs,  spending  some  time  at  a  naval  hospital  to  fulfill 
reserve  requirements.  He  aspires  to  a  Navy  internship 
ami  possibly  a  career  in  the  Navy  as  a  specialist.  Fred 
manifests  diversified  interests:  hunting,  boating,  golf, 
[iliolngraphy.  and.  of  course,  his  family.  His  remarkable 
talent  for  establishing  good  rap])ort  with  instructors  is  an 
attribute  at  which  classmates  marvel. 


JOSEPH  SHERMER  GARRISON,  3D 

"Sherm"  officially  arrived  on  the  Baltimore  medical 
scene  in  1926.  His  early  years  were  taken  uj)  with  the 
carefree  joys  of  childhood  and  there  was  little  to  suggest 
that  a  rival  of  Osier  was  to  emerge.  During  his  years  at 
Western  Maryland  College  he  showed  a  bend  for  Biology, 
and  from  there  it  was  but  one  step  to  medical  school. 
Here  he  showed  himself  to  be  an  active  participant  in 
discussions  and  a  collector  of  rare  therapeutic  lid-bits. 
In  1952  he  married  Anna  Melissa.  Shcrm's  home  on  the 
Severn  has  been  the  scene  of  several  class  parties.  His 
plans  oscillate  between  general  practice  and  surgery. 


GEORGE  GEVAS 

Cfcorge  first  greeted  an  unsusijecting  world  in  Yorkville, 
Ohio,  in  1924.  Believing  in  the  motto  "Be  prepared"  he 
spent  three  years  with  the  armed  forces  as  a  surgical  tech- 
nician in  addition  to  his  pre-medical  work  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  Maryland.  An  earnest  and  conscientious  student 
he  earned  the  title  "spastic  spartan"  from  his  equally 
spastic  classmates.  He  married  in  August.  1951.  and  his 
wife,  Mary,  has  since  presented  him  with  a  member  of 
the  class  of  '75.  Planning  to  intern  in  Baltimore  he  will 
later  enter  general  practice  and  hopes  finally  to  specialize 
in  OB-Gvn.

JOSEPH  PATRICK  GILLOTTE 

Since  his  birth  in  Danbury.  Conn.,  in  192.5  Pat  has 
amazed  and  amused  his  friends  with  his  versatility  and 
heterodoxy.  Sports  and  music  occupied  his  young  life 
while  he  waited  for  his  synapses  to  finish  forming.  He 
served  in  the  Army  from  1943-4.5  as  a  member  of  a  Special 
Services  unit  (one  wonders  just  what  these  special  serv- 
ices were).  After  pre-med  at  the  I  niversity  of  Maryland 
he  began  his  career  at  medical  school;  his  escapades  here 
do  not  require  print  to  be  remembered.  Undecided  about 
evervthing  except  Mar\land's  football  team,  and  his  wife, 
he  leans  toward  internal  medicine  as  a  future  vehicle  for 
his  talents. 


LEONARD  BARRY  CLICK 

Born  in  1929.  young  Click  is  most  famous  because  he 
is  "Shipley's  son."  However,  he  is  best  remembered  by 
the  class  for  his  spontaneous  dissertation  on  "Phlebo- 
thrombophlebitis."  Len  has  preserved  his  single  status 
with  aplonds  amid  myriads  of  adoring  females.  He  aspires 
to  a  specialty,  surgical  or  otherwise,  hoping  to  intern  in 
New  Orleans  where  he  spent  his  last  sunnner  in  dispensar) 
work  and  frequent  excursions  down  Bourlion  Street.  Cul- 
tural pursuits  are  music  and  reading.  A  Phi  DE  and  a 
No.  1  draft  choice  he  plans  to  set  up  in  a  small,  warm, 
dry  southern  city  with  wide  and  well-marked  streets.

ginia I ..  he  showed  himself  to  be  a  student  who  could 
learn  and  perform  well  without  taking  life  too  seriously. 
He  became  a  wheel  in  Phi  Beta  Pi  and  during  his  senior 
year  externed  at  Bon  Secours.  He  expects  to  enter  gen- 
eral practice  although  medicine  and  pediatrics  are  still 
possibilities.

ances solvent,  serving  as  treasurer  for  four  years.  In 
addition  for  having  a  practical  eye  for  beautiful  girls,  he 
enjoys  singing.  This  tall,  friendly  boy  plans  to  take  a

ROBERT  COBURN  KINGSBURY 

1926  marked  the  onset  of  the  career  of  Baltimore-liorn 
Bob.  Model  trains,  a  well-equipped  dark-room,  and  a 
love  for  animals  persisting  to  the  recent  c(jlony  of  ham- 
sters, occupied  early  years.  Two  years  as  a  pharmacist's 
mate  in  the  Navv  convinced  Roh  that  his  future  was  in 
medicine.  Pre-medical  work  at  College  Park  led  to  a  B.S. 
degree  and  highest  honors.  He  married  Polly  Thomas  in

WILLIAM  SITES  KISER 

Bill  is  perhaps  the  most  eligible  of  our  few  remaining 
bachelors.  His  leaning  toward  pediatrics  dates  back  to 
192")  when  he  first  began  breaking  down  lactose  in  Roni- 
ney,  W.  V.  Bill  shook  the  coal  dust  and  migrated  to 
College  Park  for  his  pre-medical  work;  he  spent  his  sum- 
mers touring  the  country  and  working  as  a  YMCA  camp 
doctor.  Aside  from  his  widespread  popularity  in  class 
and  in  scores  of  nurse's  homes  Bill  has  also  built  up  an 
enviable  scholastic  record.  He  is  president  of  AOA  but 
has  also  found  time  to  do  a  conscientious  job  for  four 
years  on  the  Student  Council  and  as  an  active  member  of 
Nu  Sis. 


ARTHUR  CLYDE  KNIGHT 

Since  1925.  the  question  in  Philipsburg.  Montana,  has 
been,  "Which  came  first,  Art  or  the  guitar?"  After  three 
years  in  the  infantry  in  Germany  and  France  he  found 
that  the  piano  was  just  as  fascinating  to  him  as  the  guitar. 
With  these  attributes  it  is  not  hard  to  understand  why  Art 
was  a  welcomed  figured  around  Phi  Beta  Pi.  As  a  student 
Art  has  never  ceased  in  his  efforts  to  add  new  medical 
pearls  to  his  little  black  book.  On  off  hours  he  was  always 
ready  for  baseball,  basketball,  or  ping-pong.  A  father, 
Art  plans  to  return  to  Montana  but  his  friends  hope  that 
fishing  on  the  Chesapeake  will  hold  him  in  the  East.

BENJAMIN  BUCK  LEE 

Ben's  birthplace  was  Canton.  China  but  the  formative 
years  of  his  life  were  spent  in  Baltimore.  After  three 
years  in  the  Air  Force  Ben  returned  to  Johns  Hopkins 
to  receive  his  A.B.  in  1949  and  then  moved  downtown  to 
Lombard  and  Greene.  Ben's  mood  is  chiefly  one  of  bal- 
anced optimism  enabling  him  to  ward  off  most  of  the  trau- 
matic blows  of  the  past  four  vears.  He  is  also  a  staunch 
family  man.  Hobbies  are  photography  and  model  plane 
building  while  summers  were  spent  in  taking  care  of  his 
parents"  business.  Ben's  plans  are  not  completely  formu- 
lated yet  but  after  internship  general  practice  looks  very 
interesting  to  him. 


HERBERT  HOUCK  LEIGHTON 

Coming  from  the  hill  countrv  around  Oakland.  Md.. 
Herb  completed  pre-medical  work  at  Western  Maryland 
College.  His  desire  to  help  his  fellow  man  led  him  to 
medicine  and  thence  to  Baltimore.  As  a  member  of  Nu 
Sig  and  a  lover  of  choir  music  and  photography.  Herb's 
life  in  Baltimore  was  quite  full,  indeed.  However,  come 
sunnner  and  the  call  of  the  hills.  Herb  is  found  tramping 
the  mountains  of  West  Virginia  as  a  general  practitioner's 
assistant.  Time  out  from  school  medicine  in  the  form  of 
a  sunnner  externship  at  Walker  Memorial  Hospital  in

ROBERT  I,EE  LEVINE 

Rob  began  his  career  in  Baltimore  in  l'J3().  He  was 
weaned  on  l»)oks  and  studies  and  after  a  rapid  trip 
through  College  I'ark  began  his  medical  training.  He 
belongs  to  Phi  DE.  Phi  Kappa  Phi,  and  the  YMHA  where 
he  jjractices  weight-liftinf.'  and  ballroom  dancing.  His 
sunnners  were  spent  at  Head's  Drug  Stores,  (iood  Hunuir 
Co.,  and  Bethlehem  Steel;  the  senior  year  found  Bob 
decided  on  a  career  in  otolarv  ngology.  Endeared  by  his 
congeniality  to  all  those  who  know  him,  he  has  left  his 
mark  in  the  hearts  of  his  classmates.  The  youngest  man

RAFAEL  LONGO-CORDERO 

Ralph,  as  he  is  called  b\  those  who  know  him.  hails 
from  Puerto  Rico  and  has  the  accent  to  prove  it.  His 
training  at  the  University  of  P.R.  obviously  equipped 
him  well  for  medical  school  for  he  established  himself 
at  the  outset  as  a  capable  student.  His  Latin  air  and 
Spanish  accent  sold  many  a  Good  Humor  for  him  during 
the  summer  of  19.52.  kept  his  classmates  laughing,  the 
professors  confused,  and  the  student  nurses  swooning. 
Ralph,  a  member  of  AOA,  picked  up  his  bent  for  surgery 
as  an  extern  at  City  Hospitals  in  OB  and  later  in  anes- 
thesia.   He  hopes  eventually  to  do  neuro-surgery.

GORDON  EVANS  MADGE 

This  soft-spoken  scholar  manages  to  combine  a  warm 
interest  in  medical  history  and  esoteric  syndromes  witli 
an  appreciation  of  the  human  side  of  medicine.  Although 
a  native  Marvlander.  Gordon's  service  with  the  Air  Corps 
in  the  South  and  his  undergraduate  training  at  William 
and  Mary  have  oriented  him  in  a  southward  direction. 
Symphonic  music,  literature,  and  philosophy  help  to  fill 
out  his  spare  time.  To  obtain  relief  from  such  cerebral 
pastimes  Gordon  has  spent  his  summers  in  the  quaint 
old-world  atmosphere  of  the  Maryland  drydocks.  Destiny 
and  personal  predilection  impel  Gordon  on  to  the  field 
of  pathology. 


JESSE  WILLIAM  McCRACKEN 

Some  28  years  ago  this  casual  North  Carolinian  made 
his  first  contact  with  the  OB  and  pediatric  specialties.

the  class.  He  has  externed  at  hospitals  in  Baltimore. 
Virginia,  and  North  Carolina  during  the  sunnners  and 
also  during  the  school  year.  His  limited  leisure  hours 
ha\e  been  spent  in  oil  painting,  sculpturing,  and  furniture 
making.  A  bit  of  a  philosopher  he  is  also  a  bachelor. 
Bill's  ambition  is  general  surgery  after  interning  back 
in  Carolina.

of  such  institutions  of  higher  learning  as  Western  Mary-

in  Pharmacy.  In  order  to  avoid  the  traumatic  experience 
of  working,  he  decided  to  attempt  four  years  of  medical 
education.  While  engaged  in  the  latter  and  maintaining 
a  high  scholastic  average  he  became  a  member  of  Phi 
Delta  Epsilon  and  AOA.  and  spent  the  summer  of  1952 
being  chased  around  Peninsula  General  Hospital  in  Salis-

Undoubtedly  Johnnie's  true  love  for  the  delivery  room 
stems  from  the  fact  that  at  the  crucial  hour  he  did  not 
have  its  use.  One  morning  in  June.  1929.  he  BOA'd  in 
the  town  of  Steubenville,  Ohio.  Early  life  was  spent 
dodging  typhoid  fever  along  the  banks  of  the  "Beautiful 
Ohio."  Following  undergraduate  training  at  Kent  State 
he  journeyed  to  Baltimore  to  begin  his  medical  education. 
The  summer  before  his  senior  vear  was  spent  in  Salisbury 
at  Peninsula  General  fjospital.  He  is  a  member  of  Nu

Uncle  Sam  and  a  quick  return  home  to  take  night  calls 
for  his  father's  practice.

phant matriculant  at  Lombard  and  Greene  Streets.  Here 
his  quiet  and  modest  attitude  failed  to  hide  an  alert  and 
keen  mind  in  things  medical.  Vacations  were  spent 
variously  as  house  painter,  warehouse  laborer,  and  scrub 
nurse.  In  May,  1952,  promptly  after  the  last  test  of  the 
exam-replete  junior  year  Jim  married  Betty  Matthews.

band  drummer.  Other  interests  include  oil  painting, 
boating,  and  collecting  rare  records.  Phi  DE  claims  an- 
other segment  of  his  time.  Dick  left  a  huge  gap  in  the 
bachelor  ranks  of  the  class  when  he  and  Miriam  were 
married  in  summer  of  19.52.  A  rotating  internship  will 
help  him  to  decide  on  choice  of  further  training.

Joe,  24,  came  to  us  from  Washington  College  in  Chester- 
town.  Md.,  after  being  unimpressed  with  College  Park. 
He  builds  furniture  on  the  side  and  plays  bridge  when 
he  can.  Joe  is  on  the  policy-making  level  at  Phi  DE  and 
spent  one  summer  as  a  fellow  in  infectious  diseases  at 
University  Hospital.  He  likes  to  fish  and  he  reads  the 
journals  more  than  most  of  his  colleagues.  He  is  straight- 
forward in  class  discussions,  dislikes  surgery,  and  leans 
toward  internal  medicine  as  a  future  specialty.  His 
college  track  da^s  are  over  although  he  still  plays  some 
Softball  and  is  developing  a  virile  alopecia.

— came  to  brighten  the  world.  Sidetracked  for  four  years 
at  Johns  Hopkins,  he  regained  his  equilibrium  serving 
as  a  pill-roller  in  the  Navy:  no  doubt  it  was  here  that  he 
was  inspired.  So,  enriched  with  his  vast  medical  experi-

EDWARD  VERHINES  SPUDIS 

Among  noteworthy  events  during  the  Calvin  Coolidge 
administration  was  the  arrival  of  Ed  in  192.5  in  our 
nation's  capital.  After  speedily  acquiring  the  urbane  and 
nonchalantly  elegant  attitude  one  gains  from  association 
with  the  international  set  Ed  spent  21^  years  in  the 
Army  and  then  made  the  educational  rounds  of  George- 
town. George  Washington.  S.M.U..  and  College  Park 
before  entering  medical  school.  Consistently  hard-work- 
ing and  intellectually  honest  in  his  scholastic  work  Ed 
has  been  our  class  vice-president  for  all  four  >ears  and 
also  served  as  president  of  Nu  Sig  during  his  junior 
year.    He  is  currently  intrigued  with  internal  medicine.

has  spent  his  summers  with  a  research  team  on  catalysts 
at  a  local  chemical  corporation.  Bill  will  be  remembered 
for  his  leading  questions  during  lectures,  for  example, 
"Now,  Doctor,  just  exactly  what  is  the  mechanism  in-

WILLIAM  ALVA  WAY  TYSON 

Bill  first  saw  the  light  of  dav  in  Edgewood,  Md.,  in 
1919.  Since  then  he  has  had  his  mind  set  on  becoming 
an  M.D.  and  after  a  long  and  trying  period  via  Dickinson 
College  he  joined  the  class  of  '53  at  Maryland.  His 
summers  spent  as  a  full-time  farmer,  his  early  association 
with  Dr.  Lisansky  in  medical  school  as  a  baby  sitter 
deluxe,  and  his  marriage  to  Virginia  Lauterback  in  1952 
are  but  a  few  of  his  achievements.  He  is  also  the  foremost 
authorit^  on  mechanics  in  the  senior  class  and  is  looking 
forward  to  a  general  practice  in  some  small  eastern  town. 


ARNOLD  LP:0NARD  VANCE 

Born  in  the  mid-twenties,  Arn  was  satisfied  to  remain 
in  Baltimore  but  Uncle  Sam  sent  him  on  an  extended  tour 
for  21/2  years.  Back  at  College  Park  he  met  in  the  person 
of  ex-Lieut.  Templeton  someone  to  discuss  music,  phil- 
osophy and  sports  with  him.  To  really  learn  about 
Baltimore  Arn  drove  a  taxi  two  summers  in  his  spare 
time  when  he  wasn't  on  the  golf  course.  Readily  identi- 
fied in  any  gathering  by  his  unique  laugh,  he  is  one  of 
the  top  men  as  regards  pin-ball  technique.  This  member 
of  Phi  Beta  Pi  with  all  his  accomplishments  will  surely 
fulfill  his  ambition  to  become  an  internist.

KARL  HANNA  WEAVER 

Karl  was  born  in  Oklahoma  in  1927  but  moved  to 
Clarksburg.  W.Va.,  at  an  early  age.  The  path  which  led 
him  to  medicine  has  been  a  devious  one,  including  a  year 
at  Mercersburg  Academy,  a  year  visiting  Europe  with 
the  Army,  and  a  premedical  course  at  W.Va.  U.  In 
school  he  has  been  active  in  Phi  Beta  Pi.  His  summer 
vacations  have  been  spent  acting  the  part  of  a  country 
gentleman  and  a  jolly  good  loafer.  In  August,  1952. 
however,  love  entered  permanently  into  his  life  when  he 
married  Nancv  Corbin.  He  expects  to  be  a  general 
practitioner  in  a  small  town. 


JOEL  STOOPS  WEBSTER 

Federalsburg.  Md..  claims  Joe  as  a  hometown  boy. 
He  came  to  medical  school  from  College  Park  where  he 
earned  his  B.S.  degree.  Prior  to  his  higher  education 
he  spent  two  years  with  the  USAAF  and  he  states  he 
doesn't  wish  to  return.  His  summers  have  been  spent 
doing  odd  jobs  and  working  for  the  U.S.  Public  Health 
Service.  In  1932  he  married  Bettie  Lou  and  decided  to 
spend  his  senior  year  "really  trying  to  become  a  doctor." 
After  graduation  Joe  is  looking  for  a  general  practice 
internship  and  residency.  He  says  he  doesn't  know 
e\actl\  where  he'll  practice  but  he's  sure  it'll  be  on  the 
Eastern  Shore. 


HARRY  STEPHEN  WEEKS.  JR. 

Harry  is  a  family  man,  hails  from  Clarksburg.  W.Va., 
and  arrived  here  after  attending  West  Virginia  University 
and  spending  two  years  in  the  Navy.  This  >  oung  man's 
thoughts  turned  early  in  1948  and  on  the  first  day  of 
Spring  he  married  Esther.  Steve  is  the  first  addition  to 
the  famil)  and  accounts  for  Harry's  extra-curricular 
activities.  Harry  is  well  known  to  us  for  his  outspoken 
but  fair  criticism.  Summers  were  spent  in  general  con- 
struction work  with  his  brother-in-law;  so  here  is  one 
budding  general  practitioner  who  is  going  to  have  a  home 
and  office  well-built  if  he  has  to  do  it  himself.

for  the  iiiojit  |)art  liriiiled  to  those  uhich  are  also  connected  with  the  ad\aiice- 
nietit  of  the  medical  curriculum.  Nevertheless  the  students  still  find  some 
time  for  such  thinjis  as  fraternity  associations.  The  most-looked-forward-to 
events  of  the  school  year  are  the  dances  which  are  given  at  three  times  during 
the  year.  Here  fun  is  had  by  all  and  much  anxiety  is  lost.  The  fraternities 
serve  a  dual  function:  that  of  a  social  nature  and  that  of  holding  scientific 
discussions.  At  other  times  during  the  \ear  the  classes  hold  parties  for  tlu-ir 
members.

Alpha  Omega  Alpha 


In  1902,  at  the  University  of  Illinois,  School  of  Medicine,  Willis  W.  Root 
founded  Alpha  Omega  Al|)ha.  an  honorary  medical  fraternity,  membership 
in  which  would  identify  those  whose  attributes  and  activities  served  to  raise 
scholastic  and  scientific  level  of  medical  practice  and  education.  The  society 
thus  established  has  grown  throughout  fifty-one  years  into  an  international 
organization  which  includes  undergraduate  students  showing  outstanding 
scholarship  as  regards  aptitude,  intellectual  grasp,  moral  integrity,  and  most 
important  the  promise  of  subsequent  leadership  and  accomplishment,  as  well 
as  those  graduate  physicians  whose  careers  demonstrate  possession  of  such 
attributes.  Election  to  AOA  as  such  serves  as  both  goal  and  stimulus  for 
student  body  and  faculty  alike,  not  only  to  the  attainment  of  a  well  rounded 
and  intelligent  medical  education  but  also  to  the  concurrent  superimposition 
of  integrity  and  creativeness. 

In  December,  1949,  AOA  was  installed  at  the  University  of  Maryland 
when  Dr.  Walter  Bierring.  national  president,  conferred  rights  for  establish- 
ment of  the  Beta  Chapter  of  Maryland.  The  charter  ^roup,  which  was  com- 
prised of  14  faculty  members,  5  graduates  and  12  members  of  the  senior  class 
of  that  year,  initiated  activities  which  have  been  maintained  and  augmented 
annually  as  the  chapter  strives  to  further  its  purpose  in  the  University. 

The  present  chapter  decided  that  first  hand  reports  on  their  work  by  some 
of  the  most  distinguished  scientific  investigators  in  our  nation  would  serve 
well  as  a  means  of  arousing  the  curiosity  on  students  which  leads  to  produc-

live  research,  one  of  AOA's  most  important  goals.  In  view  of  this.  Dr. 
Maxwell  Wintrobe.  delivered  the  annual  fall  lecture  when  he  spoke  on 
"Experimental  Studies  in  Macrocytic  Anemia:  Their  Sifrnificance  in  I{i- 
lation  to  Pernicious  Anemia"  to  a  Gordon  Wilson  hall  packed  to  capacity. 
The  spring  lecture  was  presented  by  Dr.  Dayid  P.  Barr.  Professor  of  Medicine 
at  Cornell  University,  who  spoke  on  "(Chemical  Kactors  in  the  Pathogenesis 
of  Atherosclerosis".  The  members  looked  forward  eagerK  to  the  thir<l 
animal  Student  Paper  Da\.  an  afternoon  program  dedicated  to  the  discussion 
by  students  of  investigative  projects  in  which  they  are  taking  |)art. 

The  chapter  has  been  efifectively  guided  this  year  by  Dr.  Milton  S.  Sacks 
and  Dr.  J.  Edmund  Bradley  who  serve  as  Faculty  ('ounselor  and  Faculty 
Secretary  respectively.  Their  leadership  has  been  ])aramount  in  one  of  our 
chapter's  finest  years  to  date. 

The  graduating  class  iticludes  16  members  of  Alpha  Omega  Alpha:  and 
each  one  realizes  fully  that  b\  living  it.  he  is  best  serving  to  further  the 
motto  of  AOA:  "To  be  worthy   to  serve  the  suffering".

Nil  Sigma  Nu 

Nu  Sigma  Nu  Fraternity  was  founded  at  the 
I'liiversity  of  Michigan.  School  of  Medicine,  in 
l!!o2  by  a  group  under  the  leadership  of  William 
Mayo,  and  is  among  the  oldest  of  medical  frater- 
nities. On  the  alumni  rolls  of  the  43  active 
chapters  are  over  2.5.()(H)  alunuii  including  such 
names  as  Sir  William  Osier  and  ('harles  H.  Best, 
co-discoverer  of  insulin. 

Active  in  the  Maryland  campus  for  49  years. 
Beta  Alpha  Chapter  includes  this  year  more  than 
7.5  members  and  pledges.  The  chapter  secured 
its  charter  in  1904  through  the  initiative  of 
Major  General  Norman  Kirk.  Surgeon  General 
of  the  Army  during  World  War  II. 

The  chapter  maintains  a  house  at  922  St.  Paul 
Street  for  the  |)urposc  of  meetings,  lectures, 
social  functions  and  the  housing  of  20  mendiers. 
There  are  man)  planned  |)arties  and  social  func- 
tions throughout  the  year. 

The  educational  program  consisted  of  speakers 


from  till-  \ariiiu~  dcparlmciits  at  the  Medical 
School  and  incluilcil  such  men  as  Dr.  H.  M.  Rob- 
inson Jr..  Dr.  II.  J.  L.  Marriott  and  Dr.  Milton 
Sacks.  At  the  annual  Aluriini  Han(|uet  in  the 
spring  Dr.  T.  K.  O'Rourk  was  the  loastmaster 
and   Dr.  T.  K.  WOodward  delivered  the  address.

Phi  Beta  Pi 


Since  its  reemergence  in  1947  after  the  war  period  in  which  it  had  passed 
into  a  temporary  limbo,  Phi  Beta  Pi  here  at  Maryland  has  come  a  long  way. 
Its  prominent  location  at  S19  West  Lombard  Street,  just  across  the  street  from 
the  school,  makes  the  large  rooms  maintained  there  easily  accessible  for 
between  class  and  lunch  hour  relaxation,  a  privilege  taken  by  many  of  the 
members.  As  usual,  this  year  smokers,  guest  speakers,  dinners  before 
monthly  meetings,  and  student  seminars  have  dominated  the  schedule.  In 
addition,  further  activities  such  as  a  Christmas  party,  a  proposed  Alumni 
banquet,  and  several  other  parties  plus  our  annual  shore  party,  always 
highly  successful,  have  come  up  as  the  year  passed  by. 

On  the  academic  side.  Phi  Beta  Pi  has  always  encouraged  diligent  work 
(111  the  part  of  its  members.  The  brothers  are  always  willing  to  lend  a  helping 
hand  in  study  jiroblems.  and  a  large  examination  file  is  maintained  as  a 
review  aid  to  the  members.  Many  faculty  members  have  been  initiated  into 
ihe  honorar\  roil  of  Phi  Beta  Pi.  The  Departments  of  Anatomy,  Bacteriology, 
Pharmacology  and  Physiology,  to  name  a  few,  are  well  represented.  Further- 
more a  large  number  of  Phi  Beta  alumni  scattered  over  the  city  are  more 
and  more  becoming  an  integral  part  of  the  fraternity  which  is  pleased  to 
have  them  visit  the  rooms  at  any  time  and  speak  at  the  smokers  and  social 
functions. 

This  year  Phi  Beta  Pi  has  pledged  fourteen  men  and  in  addition  there 
are  thirty-six  actives  from  last  year. 

Much  of  the  progress  of  Phi  Beta  Pi  has  been  notably  aided  and  abetted 
by  Dr.  Eduard  L  hlenhuth  who  has  served  as  Facultv  Advisor.  He  has  always 
been  willing  to  help  and  give  many  valuable  suggestions  to  the  operation  of 
the  Chapter.

Phi  Delta  Epsilon 

The  year  1953  finds  Phi  Delta  Epsilon  ap- 
proaching its  fiftieth  anniversary  as  one  of  the 
outstanding  medical  fraternities  in  the  nation. 
Founded  in  1904  at  Cornell  I  niversity  by  a 
group  of  eight  young  men  who  felt  the  need  for 
a  fraternity  such  as  this.  Phi  Delta  Epsilon  has 
grown    to    be    a    national    organization    with    a 


chapter  in  every  major  medical  school  and  with 
active  graduate  clubs  in  every  part  of  the  con- 
tinent. Through  the  years  the  fraternity  has 
been  proud  of  its  striving  for  and  attainment  of 
its  high  standards  of  ethics,  scientific  achieve- 
ments, and  educational  progress.  It  has  been 
a  center  for  good  fellowship  on  both  a  local  and 
national  level,  and  is  responsible  for  many  last- 
ing friendships. 

Delta  Epsilon  received  its  charter  at  the  Uni-

History  of  School  and  Cap 

Miss  Louisa  Parsons  came  to  the  L  iiiversit)  to  begin  lier  work  as  founder 
of  the  University  of  Maryland  School  of  Nursing  on  December  15.  1889. 
Miss  Parsons  was  an  Knglish  woman  and  has  received  her  nursing  education 
under  Florence  Nightingale  at  St.  Thomas  Hospital  in  London.  She  gradu- 
ated in  1880. 

When  Miss  Parsons  was  preparing  to  come  to  the  I  nited  States.  Miss 
Nightingale  gave  the  pattern  of  a  cap  made  of  point  d"espril  lace  which  she 
requested  be  given  the  nurses  of  the  first  school  founded  by  Miss  Parsons. 
Thus  our  school  was  privileged  to  inherit  the  coveted  Florence  Nightingale 
Cap  now  worn  by  its  graduates. 

In  1894  the  Alumnae  Association  of  the  school  was  organized.  Six  years 
after  this,  in  1900,  Miss  Catherine  Tayhjr  was  made  Director  of  Nurses  and 
in  this  same  year  the  first  three  year  students  were  graduated.  Prior  to 
this  the  required  training  period  was  two  years. 

By  1920  the  professional  schools  in  Baltimore  had  been  amalgamated  with 
the  University  of  Maryland  at  College  Park.  To  meet  the  demand  for  more 
advanced  education  in  the  nursing  profession,  a  five-year  program  was  in- 
stituted in  1924.  Those  graduating  under  this  |)rogram  receive  a  Bachelor 
of  Science  degree. 

In  1934  the  new  University  Hospital  was  opened  and  the  students  lia<i  a 
larger,  more  modern  "classroom"  for  their  clinical  experience. 

The  capping  ceremony,  at  which  students  who  have  successfully  com- 
pleted their  six  months  preclinical  period  receive  their  cap.  was  first  per- 
formed in  1943. 

Miss  Florence  Gipe  became  Director  of  Nurses  in  1946.  Since  that  time 
our  educational  program  has  been  augmented  so  that  our  .school  is  now 
acclaimed   as  t>ne  of  the  nalion  s   finest.

Florence  M.  Gipe,  R.N.  Ed.D.,  Dean 


Miss  Gipe  is  an  earnest  advocate  of  advanced 
education  for  nurses  and  has  worked  tirelessly 
to  improve  our  school's  educational  standards. 
Under  her  direction.  Public  Health  affiliations 
have  been  made  available  to  all  students. 

The  introduction  of  a  four  year  course  is  one 
of  Miss  Gipe's  most  timely  and  valuable  contri- 
butions to  the  school's  program. 

Her  personal  achievements  in  the  acquisition 
of  knowledge  are  a  convincing  example  of  its 
advantages.     Since  her  graduation  from  the  York 


Hospital  School  of  Nursing,  Miss  Gipe  has  re- 
ceived both  a  Bachelor  of  Science  and  a  Master 
of  Science  degree.  Last  year  she  acquired  the 
degree  of  Doctor  of  Education  from  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland. 

By  combining  administrative  ability  with 
consideration  of  each  student's  potentialities, 
Miss  Gipe  has  extended  the  scope  of  opportunities 
provided  for  the  development  of  individual  goals 
and  abilities.

What  makes  little  girls  become  nurses? 


Seldom  do  we  stop  in  the  rushed  fulfillment 
of  our  own  duties,  to  consider  what  a  tremendous 
task  is  that  of  the  administrators  of  the  I'niver- 
sity  Hospital  and  its  connected  institutions  that 
include  the  Out  Patient  Department  and  the  new 
Psychiatric  Institute. 

When  we  recall  the  variety  of  requirements  in 
the  many  departments  in  which  we  have  worked, 
we  must  admire  the  administrative  staff  who  is 
always  aware  of  the  functions  and  needs  of  the 
entire  hospital. 

The  administration  works  to  make  the  patient 
comfortable  as  we  do,  by  providing  for  pleasant 
physical  surroundings  and  equipment  of  all  kinds 
for  patient  care  which  we  often  take  for  granted 
because  it  is  so  readily  available.  Not  only  must 
they  provide  for  the  needs  of  the  patients  who 
fill  the  wards,  rooms  and  clinics  but  also  for  the 
many  members  of  the  hospital  stafT. 

By  keeping  abreast  of  modern  hospital 
methods,  those  of  the  administrative  stafT  have 
provided  for  us  an  excellent  clinical  worksho)) 
in  which  to  acquire  our  nursing  education.  The 
planning  and  foresight  evidenced  by  the  expan- 
sion an<l  improvement  of  hospital  facilities  make 
us  confident  thai  as  graduates  we  can  speak  with 
pride  of  our  "home"  hospital.

General  Curriculum 


In  our  hospital,  the  program  is  designed  to  give  us  a  well 
rounded  education  combining  theory  and  practice  with  learning 
opportunities  unlimited.  Our  courses  in  medical  and  surgical 
nursing  are  carefully  planned  to  give  us  an  understanding  of  the 
manifestations  and  treatment  of  diseases.  Many  hours  are  spent 
with  informal  lectures,  class  discussions,  reference  reading,  demon- 
strations and  clinical  observations;  where  we  acquire  the  knowl- 
edge of  nursing  skills  needed  to  care  for  our  patients. 

Through  the  active  participation  in  the  hospital  toward  care 
and  treatment  of  the  patients,  these  skills  and  knowledge  progress. 
We  learn  to  think  and  act  quickly,  effectively  and  efficiently  in 
order  to  place  the  health  and  well-being  of  our  patients  as  our 
first  and  main  duty. 


Once  the  decision   is  made, 
intense  study  begins.

Class  Of  September  1955 

It  isn't  hard  to  remember  that  great  day  when 
we  "lower  classmen"  received  word  that  we  had 
been  accepted  as  a  member  of  the  University. 
First  came  the  introduction  to  what  seemed  to  us 
complicated  routines.  These  were  soon  mastered 
and  we  began  formal  classroom  study.  To  as- 
semble our  new  uniforms  was  quite  a  task  and 
our  first  hours  of  clinical  practice  were  awkward, 
but  at  the  same  time  fascinating.  From  our 
future  experiences  came  skill  in  performance  and 
insight  into  the  problems  of  nursing  care.

The    piiiici|jles    uf    suction    are    explained    in    a 
surgical  nursing  class  by  Irene  Frerie. 


"Nurse — prepare  this  patient  for  surgery!" 
rhese  are  now  familiar  words  to  us.  hut  at  one 
lime  tliey  |jraeticalh    made  us  faint   from  frij;hl. 

In  preparing  our  patients  for  surger)  many 
limes  tiie\  ask  us  specific  (|uestions  concerning 
the  operation.  It  is  at  this  time  that  ue  are 
tiiankful  for  t)ur  many  classes  and  demonstra- 
lions  in  caring  for  a  surgical  or  post-operati\e 
patient. 

in  class  we  are  taught  to  understand  and  relate 
the  anatomy  and  ph\siology  of  the  part  or  parts 
involved  in  operations:  and  to  familiarize  our- 
selves with  the  various  complications  and  their 
symptoms.  In  caring  for  these  patients  one  must 
observe  them  keenly  and  constantly. 

We  must  teach  our  patients  how  to  care  for 
themselves  after  operations  and  in  some  cases 
how  to  live  with  their  disease. 

It  is  in  this  area  that  we  develop  skills  and 
techniques  which  we  use  throughout  our  nursing 
careers.

In  medical  nursing  the  nurse  must  have  an 
adequate  knowledge  of  the  vast  diseases  and 
numerous  situations  in  order  to  give  the  patients 
proper  nursing  care.  The  various  methods  of 
treatment  are  employed  in  the  field  of  medicine, 
but  the  nurse  must  be  able  to  arrange  these 
treatments  in  such  a  manner  that  they  meet  the 
individual  needs  of  the  patient.  In  this  field  of 
nursing  you  meet  various  types  of  people  and 
though  the  clinical  signs  and  symptoms  of  one 
patient  are  similiar  to  those  of  another  patient 
with  the  same  disease:  their  problems  and  nursing 
care  must  be  planned  according  to  the  individual. 
From  the  day  the  patient  is  admitted  until  the 
day  he  is  discharged,  the  nurse  is  constantly 
teaching,  not  only  the  patient,  but  his  family  in 
order  that  they  might  have  a  better  understand- 
ing of  the  disease  and  the  required  care.

a  chance  to  see  the  patients  before  and  after 
their  entrance  into  the  hospital.  In  Obstetrics 
clinic  she  is  encouraged  to  teach  the  patients  and 
assist  with  physical  examinations.  As  a  part  of 
her  Pediatric  training,  the  nurse  has  a  chance  to 
see  the  babies  as  they  return  to  the  Well  Baby 
Clinic  for  their  check-ups.  Along  with  medical 
and  surgical  nursing,  she  is  permitted  to  assist 
with  treatments  and  minor  operations.  In  no

During  a  student  nurse's  three  year  period, 
one  month  is  spent  in  diet  school  where  with  the 
assistance  of  the  dietitian  she  learns  the  purposes 
of  special  diets  as  the  treatment  for  specific  dis- 
eases. She  works  with  the  dietitians  and  other 
students  to  pre|)are  these  diets  to  meet  the 
patient's  likes  and  diseases.  Also,  she  is  able  to 
give  the  patients  and  their  families  proper  diet 
instructions.  She  is  taught  to  weigh  and  calcu- 
late special  diets  such  as  low  carbohydrate  for 
diabetic  patients,  low  fat  for  infectious  hepatitis 
or  low  salt  for  cardiac  diseases.  This  experience 
also  enlarges  her  knowledge  (if  the  importance 
of  her  own  health.

Accident  Room 

Ifi  the  accitlent  room  a  student  nurse  must 
prepare  to  learn  to  meet  all  types  of  emergencies. 
This  training  also  enables  her  to  act  promptl) 
and  efliciently  to  combat  disasters  outside  of  the 
hospital.  She  learns  to  share  the  disappoint- 
ments and  fears  that  accompany  her  patient's 
and  their  family's,  as  she  provides  the  immediate, 
essential  nursing  care. 

Mystery,  disaster  and  drama  fill  the  accident 
room  with  such  exciting  experiences  that  they 
can  scarcely  be  equaled  in  any  other  phase  of 
nursins;.

In  Public  Health  Nursing,  the  imrse  must  have 
a  wider  and  more  general  range  of  knowledge 
and  understanding.  She  must  include  each 
family  member  with  each  patient  in  her  teachings 
and  observations.  Along  with  the  nursing  jjrob- 
lenis  of  the  patients  goes  their  social  and  econo- 
mic difficulties  as  well.  Integrity,  caution  and 
the  ability  to  improvise  are  extremelv  important 
and  the  nurse  is  taught  to  use  these  principles 
to  the  best  of  her  ability  in  order  to  aid  and 
protect  her  patients  and  their  families.  Though 
mostly  on  her  own.  she  can  always  depend  on 
the  City  Health  Department  for  assistance  with 
lier  many  complicated  problems.

Obstetrical  Nursing 


A  spank  on  the  soles  of  his  feet  stimulates  the 
new  citizen  to  voice  protest  and  take  his  first 
breath.  So  begins  a  chain  reaction;  the  beam- 
ing face  of  the  exhausted  mother;  the  relieved 
smile  of  the  anxious  father;  the  welcome  words 
"It's  a  boy."  These  are  but  a  few  of  the  many 
experiences  one  is  able  to  share  in  obstetrical 
nursing. 

In  the  Out-Patient  Department  as  we  help  a 
mother  plan  for  the  coming  baby,  we  are  both 
teaching  and  learning.  In  the  delivery  room,  as 
we  see  our  care  and  reassurance  allay  a  patients 
fears,  we  are  proud.  Then,  after  the  long  awaited 
moment  is  over,  two  lives  instead  of  one.  prosper 
by  the  instructions  and  guidance  that  is  given. 
In  these  ways  we.  as  nurses,  can  help  change  the 
fears  and  anxiety  of  a  new  mother  into  hope  and 
happiness. 

In  the  nursery  those  "blessed  events"  are 
greeted  with  various  expressions  of  joy  and  re- 
ceive plenty  of  tender,  loving  care  as  they  are 
bathed,  dressed,   fed  or  cuddled. 

Three  months  is  so  little  time  in  which  to 
crowd  the  manv  hours  of  class  and  experience. 
However,  time  goes  on  and  with  it  goes  our 
meniorv  of  the  excitement  of  a  delivery:  the  tears 
of  a  disappointed  mother,  and  the  thrill  of  being 
in  on  the  beginning  of  a  new  life,  which  make 
obstetrics  one  of  the  most  fascinating  of  all 
fields  of  nursins.

The  operating  room  holds  many  new  experi- 
ences for  a  bewildered  student.  However,  there 
she  is  taught  to  act  quickly  and  efficientlv  in 
order  to  anticipate  any  emergency.  Slowly,  with 
the  faithful  teachings  of  our  instructors,  she 
learns  the  names  and  uses  of  the  mountains  of 
gleaming  instruments. 

The  fear  that  accompanies  her  first  few  scrubs 
soon  gives  away  to  a  certain  thrill  as  she  passes 
the  sutures,  scapel  or  scissors  into  the  steady 
hands  of  a  physician  who  guides  a  patient's 
illness  into  a  ray  of  hope  and  captures  the  feel- 
ing of  mvsterious  excitement  and  drama.

the  surgeon  and  the  assistance  of  the  scrub  nurse.

Psychiatry  at 
Springfield 

Three  months  in  the  country  with  delicious 
food,  green  grass,  glorious  fresh  air  and  week 
ends  off  describes  the  affiliation  at  Springfield 
Psychiatric  Hospital.  However,  there  you  are 
confronted  with  mental  turmoil  and  emotional 
distresses  of  those  people,  behind  closed  windows 
and  locked  doors,  that  could  easily  be  your 
friends  or  members  of  your  family.  You  pre- 
pare to  meet  the  patient's  needs  and  assist  in 
their  well  being  and  recovery. 

With  kindness,  attention,  proper  approach  and 
treatment  you  help  them  recapture  their 
emotional  stability  so  that  they  again  are 
socially  secure. 

In  the  evenings,  you  study  hard  to  learn  the 
mental  mechanisms  and  neuroanatomy,  but  in 
only  three  months  so  little  can  be  learned  and 
accomplished  in  this  fast  growing  field  of  vague 
knowledge.

To  the  numerous  buildings  that  compose  the 
University  Hospital  and  its  schools  of  learning, 
a  new  and  modern  Psychiatric  building  has  been 
added.  It  is  to  accommodate  the  emotionally 
and  mentally  confused,  including  senile  patients, 
especially  those  needing  medical  or  surgical 
attention,  by  providing  the  newest  methods  of 
treatment  and  professional  personnel.  Also, 
small  portions  of  the  new  building  will  be  utilized 
to  enlarge  the  general  hospital.  It  is  hoped  that 
this  new  hospital  will  help  to  relieve  the  crowded 
conditions  of  other  psychiatric  institutions  and 
general  hospitals.  Though  it  is  not  adequately 
furnished  for  use  at  present,  plans  are  being 
made  for  its  use  in  the  immediate  future.  It  is 
also  planned  that  in  the  near  future,  students 
from  the  School  of  Nursing  will  receive  their 
psychiatric  instructions  and  experience  there.

Pediatrics 


An  invaluable  part  of  a  student  nurse's  cur- 
riculum is  the  Pediatric  experience.  For  three 
months  she  learns  and  practices  the  care  that 
can  so  easily  determine  a  childs  life,  death,  or 
behavior.  Though  her  associations  are  mainly 
with  sick  children,  she  learns  to  compare  their 
symptoms  with  those  of  a  well  child  and  adjusts 
her  approach  and  care  according  to  the  indi- 
vidual. Also,  she  learns  to  mold  her  own  pattern 
of  living  to  meet  the  childrens  needs  and  desires. 
The  nurse  can  acquire  a  degree  of  understanding 
of  the  growth  and  development  of  the  normal 
child  and  can  observe,  particularly  in  Pla\ 
Therapy,  his  attitude  toward  group  participation 
and  living.  The  accumulated  knowledge  and 
vast  experiences  obtained  in  Pediatrics  can  be 
applied  and  utilized  very  practically  in  every  day 
living  and  associations  with  children  and  the 
family  group.

Specialties  included  in  a  student's  Pediatric 
training  are  the  Formula  Room,  Out-Patient 
Department,  and  Premature  Nursery.  These 
specialties  aid  a  student  in  other  fields  of  nursing 
as  well  as  Pediatrics.  The  Formula  Room,  for 
example,  enables  her  to  teach  new  uncertain 
mothers  in  Public  Health,  the  proper  method  of 
preparing  babvs  formula.  From  the  Oul- 
Patient  Department,  she  learns  how  to  approach 
and  reassure  a  sick  child's  family.  Also,  she  is 
able  to  follow  a  patient  through  the  Well  Maby 
(  Jinic.  The  Premature  Nursery  helps  to  acquaint 
itie  student  with  immediate  care  to  miniature 
human  beings  and  prepares  her  for  future  famil\ 
living.

"Pinkie"  came  to  us  in  1952  from  St.  Lukes  Hospital,  Beth- 
lehem. Pennsvhania.  Cheerful  and  pleasant,  this  redhead  has 
quickly  won  many  friends.  She  enjoys  active  recreation  such 
as  bowling,  ice  skating,  tennis,  and  swimming,  but  while  re- 
laxing in  her  room  she  likes  to  read  and  listen  to  nmsic.  She 
enjoyed  her  Public  Health  experience  very  much  and  felt  it 
offered  more  opportunity  and  challenge  than  hospital  work. 
In  her  short  time  here  "Pinkie"  has  proven  a  capable  and  de- 
pendable nurse.  Future  plans  for  Pinkie  include  a  home  for 
her  husband  and  small  daughter,  along  with  working  towards 
a  Bachelor  of  Science  degree  in  Nursing  Education.

ELSIE  ARDETH  DIEDERICHS 
Annapolis,  Maryland 

Because  she  is  so  absorbed  in  her  work,  many  believe  "Ardie" 
to  be  the  quiet  kind,  but  we  know  that  she  has  a  ga\  side  that 
loves  to  tease.  An\ thing  she  undertakes  is  thoroughK  done  as 
evidenced  by  her  scholastic  average.  "Ardie"  enjoys  any  type 
of  active  sport,  but  swimming  is  her  favorite.  A  medical 
student  from  Ohio  endowed  her  with  that  tongue-twisting  last 
name  when  "Ardie"  married  Hank  in  May  of  1%2.  The  operat- 
ing room  was  "Ardie's"  favorite  spot  during  her  days  at 
University  Hospital.  She  hopes  eventualh  to  be  employed  as 
office  nurse  and  homemaker  for  Dr.  Heiir\   Diederichs  in  Ohio.

Baltimore,  Maryland 

So  eager  was  Doug  to  join  her  parents  in  the  hills  of  West 
Virginia,  that  she  arrived  ahead  of  schedule.  Her  feet  have 
not  forgotten  her  small  beginning  for  they  remained  a  size 
four  while  the  rest  of  her  grew  to  a  willowy  height.  Since 
she  is  such  a  light  sleeper,  the  backward  schedule  of  night 
dutv  then  sleeping  during  the  day  has  developed  in  her  an 
intense  dislike  for  noisemakers.  Janet's  not  hallucinating  when 
she  sings  "I  Thought  I  Saw  A  Puddy  Tat" — she  likes  the  song 
and  the  "tweedie  bird"  who  sings  it.  She  enjoyed  Obstetrics 
with  its  optimistic  atmosphere  but  intends  to  pound  the  pave- 
ments (those  poor  little  feet,  again  I  on  Public  Health  after

Baltimore,  Maryland 

"Ini  an  artist  by  chance  and  a  nurse  by  choice,"  says  this 
clever  little  redhead:  who  has  made  a  success  of  both  choice 
and  chance.  Many  of  the  eye-catching  posters  which  announced 
our  school  activities  were  "done  by  Dunn."  In  her  spare  time 
Barb  was  Student  Council  Representative  and  Basketball  Cap- 
tain in  her  second  year;  she  was  class  secretary  in  her  senior 
year.  After  graduation  Barb  plans  to  specialize  in  Obstetrics. 
Her  favorites  were  night  duty  and  "the  Pit"  where  the  unex- 
pected reigns  King.  Her  plans  for  the  future  include  marriage

family.  Ruth  is  heading  for  North  Carolina  to  re-tar  her 
heels  after  graduation. 


ALICE  CRESAP  SCHAFER 
Newburg,  Maryland 

"Shafe"  is  one  girl  who  follows  the  old  adage  of  "work 
eight  hours,  sleep  eight  hours  and  save  eight  hours  for  fun." 
Bowling,  swimming,  dancing  and  relaxing  with  her  crocheting 
are  included  in  her  hours  of  enjoyment.  In  her  second  year 
of  training  Alice  was  president  of  our  class.  Prior  to  her 
entrance  in  nursing  school  "Shafe"'  attended  College  Park  for 
two  years  which  entitles  her  to  a  Bachelors  of  Science  degree 
upon  graduation.  After  she  has  graduated  and  become  a 
"Mrs.,"  Alice  hopes  to  do  further  nursing  in  Obstetrics  or 
Public  Health  nursing.

EVELYN  KOONTZ  SHIPLEY 
Jessup,  Maryland 

A  few  months  after  enrolling  as  a  student  nurse,  Evelyn 
surprised  her  classmates  by  marrying  her  high  school  sweet- 
heart. After  a  leave  of  absence  to  await  the  arrival  of  her 
little  daughter  in  1952,  Evelyn  was  still  determined  to  return 
and  finish  her  nursing  which  is  proof  enough  of  her  sincere 
interest.  She  has  projected  her  love  for  nursing  into  her  work 
with  a  sympathetic  smile  and  thus  won  many  friends.  Evelyn's 
future  plans  include  her  nursing  and  making  a  model  mother 
and  housewife  for  her  family.  Of  all  her  clinical  experiences, 
Evelyn  found  Obstetrics  most  interesting. 


PATRICIA  ROBINSON  SMITH 
EvANSTON,  Illinois 

Pat  has  covered  a  lot  of  territory  since  her  initial  appearance 
in  Illinois  on  October  20,  1932.  She  grew  up  in  Maryland, 
Iowa  and  North  Dakota,  but  spent  most  of  her  years  in  Grand 
Island.  Nebraska.  Nursing  has  been  the  career  of  her  choice 
since  early  childhood  and  she  has  since  proven  her  suitability 
for  it.  Pat  is  one  who  tears  through  the  newspaper  in  order 
to  work  the  crossword  puzzle.  She  also  enjoys  reading,  horse- 
back riding  and  every  extra  wink  of  sleep  she  can  get.  Future 
plans  include  working  in  psychiatry  and  building  a  home 
with  her  husband.  Dr.  Smith.

DELOKES  ANN  TUCKEK 
Dunkirk,  Maryland 

"Tuck"  is  kiiDwn  as  one  of  mir  happiest  classmates.  Where 
she  is,  there  is  sure  to  he  loads  of  sparkling  lau^ihter  and 
plenty  of  good  times.  Her  keen  interest  in  s])orls  has  kept 
her  lively  and  for  three  years  she  was  a  faithful  guard  on  the 
nurses'  iiaskethall  team.  However,  looking  to  the  lighter  side 
of  sports  "Tuck's"  favorite  is  dancing.  Her  |)atients.  as  well 
as  her  co-workers  love  licr  sinceritv  and  her  understanding 
interest  in  the  jiroMems  of  others.  We  are  sure  that  her  happy 
smiles  and  sweet  disposition  will  lead  her  to  success  and 
happiness  as  a  graduate  nurse. 


ESTHER  JEANNE  WATKINS 
Cedar  Grove,  Maryland 

Jeanne  confesses  to  heing  heart  and  soul,  a  small  town  girl. 
During  her  early  days  as  our  classmate  she  was  one  of  our 
most  quiet  and  reserved  young  ladies,  but  city  ways  soon  look 
over;  and  now  we  know  her  to  be  full  of  pep  and  mischief. 
Conscientious  and  reliable,  Jeamie's  presence  on  the  ward  is 
always  reassuring  to  both  patients  and  co-workers.  She  has 
been  active  in  church  functions  and  was  a  most  dependable 
treasurer  of  our  senior  class.  Jeanne  feels  that  the  emotional 
needs  of  the  patient  are  the  most  important,  therefore  psychi- 
atric nursing  is  her  first  choice  as  a  graduate  career.

SUSAN  HULSE  WOOD 
Galesville,  Maryland 

Sue  is  known  to  all  of  us  for  her  quiet  but  efficient  manner 
portrayed  as  she  performs  her  daily  duties  in  the  hospital. 
She  has  adjusted  well  to  situations  arising  within  hospital 
walls  as  well  as  those  encountered  at  other  times.  Being  a 
bride  for  almost  two  years  has  not  hindered  her  progress  in 
any  way.  First  among  her  pet  peeves  is  that  relief  shift.  Off 
duty  hours  will  often  find  her  bowling  with  her  husband. 
Future  plans  are  not  definite  but  sway  toward  general  duty 
nursing  and  raising  a  forest  of  little  Woods.  Whatever  your 
future  has  in  store  Sue.  may  it  be  the  best  for  you. 


MARY  SUSAN  YEAGER 
Thomas,  West  Virginia 

Picture  a  tall.  thin,  blonde  with  a  pleasing  personality  and 
that's  Sue.  When  out  of  black  stockings,  she  likes  to  stretch 
her  legs  at  the  "Y"  swimming  pool,  dance  or  lead  in  the  joke 
sessions.  She  rates  the  operating  room  tops  in  her  nursing 
experience  with  its  exacting  technics.  Her  warm  and  friendly 
attitude  wins  the  hearts  of  her  patients  and  friends.  Sue  can't 
stand  night  duty,  but  seems  to  get  her  share.  Despite  grueling 
times  on  duty,  Sue  seems  to  keep  her  cheery  manner  and  that's 
a  secret  we  would  all  like  to  share.  The  future  holds  excite- 
ment and  travel  with  a  career  in  the  Navy  Nurse  Corps.

LILLIAN  VERNA  ZANG 
Galesville,  Maryland 

Blonde  hair  and  blue  eyes  are  the  attractive  coloring  of  this 
member  of  our  class.  On  her  day  off  she  is  usually  found 
with  suitcase  in  hand  trotting  down  to  the  bus  station  to  get 
home  and  breathe  that  fresh  country  air.  A  trip  downtown 
would  not  be  complete  if  she  did  not  stop  somewhere  on  the 
way  back  and  get  something  to  eat.  Her  pet  peeve  is  a  lot  of 
noise  when  trying  to  sleep  after  a  hard  day's  work.  Verna 
plans  to  work  in  Annapolis  after  graduation.  Her  efficiency 
and  love  of  nursing  will  make  a  success  wherever  she  is.

Activities 


The  Student  Government  Association  of  this 
School  of  Nursing  is  actively  participated  in  by 
every  student.  In  cooperation  with  a  representa- 
tive from  each  class,  the  Student  Government 
officers  form  a  Student  Council  which  exercises 
legislative,  executive  and  judicial  powers.  These 
officers  are  elected  by  the  entire  student  body  and 
exercise  the  right  of  administering  punishment 
to  those  students  who  have  disobeyed  rules  and 
regulations.  Both  the  Student  Council  and  the 
Student  Government  Association  hold  monthly 
meetings  in  which  many  issues  vital  to  student 
happiness  and  welfare  during  the  three  year 
period  in  the  School  of  Nursing  are  discussed 
and  voted  upon.  A  Social  and  a  House  Com- 
mittee work  in  unity  with  the  Council  to  provide 
varied  activities  and  to  establish  House  Rules  for 
the  betterment  of  student  life. 


There  is  time  for  social  life.

When  a  student  enters  the  nursing  school,  she 
finds  that  the  Student  Government  Association 
Social  Committee  has  planned  a  large  sphere  of 
activities  for  her  during  off-duty  time.  Sports 
such  as  bowling,  basketball,  and  ice  skating  offer 
enjovment  for  every  taste.  The  Glee  Glub  was 
particularly  active  during  the  Christmas  season 
and  a  pajama  party  was  held,  during  which  the 
Christmas  tree  was  trimmed.  This  year  a  Min- 
strel show  and  bazaar  were  sponsored  by  the 
Student  Government  Association  to  raise  funds 
for  student  Public  Health  coats.  Each  month 
an  informal  dance  is  held  to  which  members  of 
the  other  I'niversity  of  Maryland  professional 
schools  are  invited.  The  two  early  Fall  dances 
this  year  took  place  on  the  roof  of  our  new 
Psychiatric  Building.  To  round  out  this  ex- 
citing year,  the  Junior-Senior  formal  was  held. 
Life  as  a  student  nurse  is  most  enjoyable. 


Hoiiiecoiiiing  Queen 

In  1951  something  new  was  added  to  the 
University  School  of  Nursing.  A  Homecoming 
Queen,  selected  by  official  judges,  was  sent  to 
participate  in  the  festive  Home  Coming  celebra- 
tions at  College  Park,  which  included  competing 
with  their  chosen  queen.  Each  year  since  then 
this  has  been  done  with  eager  enthusiasm  and 
plans  are  being  made  to  make  this  an  annual 
tradition.  Nancy  Jo  Kolhoss  was  our  candidate 
this  year.
